November:

"Perna is a capable student but she seldom completes her work. It was necessary to give her a L ("Little achievement for THIS pupil.") in arithmatic because she hasn't completed enough papers to grade her in any other way. The completed work however is very good."

February (when my stepmother told me to ask my father to sign my report card):

"Perna is not working according to her capabilities. She plays and dreams so much she has difficulty completing even the simplest assignments."

April: (I'm sure after a lot of punishment and threats by my stepmother):

"Perna has shown much growth in her attitude toward school. Especially in her effort to complete her assigned work."

June:

"Perna is very capable but is such a dreamer. She has to be pushed to get even the slightest assignment from her. When she awakens she should be a fine student."

You'll be happy to know I "awakened" and became a fine student when I was 41!!! It's them, granite, not us!
