he he he.........when I get a tad blue, I tend to look up my old school reports and see how far I've advanced since those god ole school days and have a good laugh........... below are my yearly reports in "Divinity" which for those who dont know is an old term for Religious Education, these are actual quotes from my report book
Age 11
"Simon is working reasonably well but he frequently forgets to hand his book in"
Age 12
"This has been a most disappointing year for Simon. He has made increasingly less effort to do any work, particularly home work ( he he he an apostate in the making !!!!!)
Age 12.5
"Simon still finds the handing in of written work very difficult to accept. When I do see his work, it is usually slapdash and showing little thought ( ahhhh that'll be cheating on my monthly hours then !!)
Age 13
"There has been no improvement in Simon's attitude. I have still very little written work from him"
Age 13.3
"Simon has done very little work this year. This result (91%) shows that Simon has the ability to work when he makes the effort" (or when the Elders come round for a chit chat LOL)
Age 14
"Simon needs to work so much harder and must put more effort generally in to his work" (ooooh going downhill again!!!)
Age 15
"Simon has not made a good deal of effort, he needs constant supervision for he is so frequently intent in mischief" (LMAO), (reminds me when I was "marked" in the cong)
Age 16
"Simon has shown more interest this year and has made some effort to improve his written work" (oooh that'll be the elders visit again then)
J Gull............feel free to share your report quotes
