| OP, after a few years and the second kid, we realized some teachers will say this unless your kid is actually biting the other kids. |

| Oh my goodness, couldn't it just be that it really is a pleasure to have the child in class? Not some coded language for why your child is somehow insufficient? This is not something to worry about. |

+1 We are friends with several teachers. Sadly, these kids are rarer. If they give other specific comments - , responsible, empathetic, kind either in report cards or conferences, I would take it as truth. |

| Most schools have a list of comments to chose from. So, that's probably why you keep seeing it. Hard to personalize a report card, when you are picking from a list. |

that's my point! why do schools either bother with such list? and why do the teacher even use them, especially in higher grades? and in the very 1st sentence? and on a child who routinely needs redirection and extra time to complete tasks? it means squat... |

| So, is "So-and-so is a sweet child" also on the list? Because we've seen that often. |

| I hear it, but I appreciate every time. I also will sometimes hear, I love having your child in my class. When my older one was a tot the teacher made it clear she did NOT enjoy having my child in her class. Luckily we found a better place, but ever since dealing with a teacher who only had negative things to say-I'll take any positive even if it is said to everyone. |
