Was it the "Have a nice summer" comment? If so that was a glitch in the system.

At some point we may refer back to a Progress Report here and there, but for the most part we do not.

Absolutely hate the "pre-canned" comments. DD had several on hers but they were all gobble gook Ed speak and really conveyed nothing.

Teachers have told me adding comments is not so user friendly so there are a lot of canned comments. Meaningless.

In FCPS, they just check which pre-written comments they want to include. So meaningless, really.

The comments are for the parents, not for next year's teacher.

Do the next years teachers even get to read the report card comments on incoming students?
