\tI never realized the anxiety involved in getting your child\u0092s report card. Now… imagine getting your child\u0092s report card in French. That\u0092s what I found yesterday after school tucked into the little notebook her teacher uses to communicate with me (and, to a lesser degree, vice versa).<\/p>\n
\tSince getting this report card I\u0092ve felt like crying… I\u0092ve felt like yelling… and I\u0092ve felt like telling all the well-meaning advice givers to keep it to themselves. Which wouldn\u0092t be fair, as I posted my initial anxiety on facebook and had to know that it would be followed by people doling out advice.<\/p>\n
\tWhen I first read the report card, I was instantly convinced it said that Kaitlyn had not accomplished a majority of what a kindergartner here is expected to accomplish. And I thought the teacher\u0092s comment said that Kaitlyn is destined to flop miserably in CP. (first grade).<\/p>\n
\tThen I bothered to translate the comment. And I realized it said that Kaitlyn is improving and that the language barriers are sure to fall next year and she\u0092ll be a successful CP student. Whew. Thank goodness for Google translate!<\/p>\n
\tStill… I was nagged by all the categories in which Kaitlyn\u0092s mark was basically \u0093in the process of learning\u0094 instead of \u0093can do.\u0094 So after dinner, I showed the report card to Bill. He got a big smile and said he thinks she\u0092s doing great.<\/p>\n
\tFine. So maybe I\u0092m wrong.<\/p>\n
\tI\u0092m taking the report card to Kaitlyn\u0092s private French teacher today. I want to get a French person\u0092s interpretation of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
