My youngest's school report has a great line in it
She's 5 and has some problems with learning, but God forbid the school admits she's got nowhere, hence the following classic phrase repeated against several subjects:

"She is about to make progress..."

Just out of interest, how do they know?

My daughter's report tells me she's "Working towards the expected standard" in virtually every subject.
Except dancing. She likes dancing.

Yeah
but it's either that or the teacher tells you your child is slow at learning and not keeping up. That wouldn't look good, therefore she is 'about to make progress'.

I'd rather say that than "Er, hate to say it, but your kid can't add up yet. Sorry. I'll try harder next year."
