My first school report, 1989

I know it’s a little self-indulgent,but I thought this was too funny not to share. I was looking for a lost piece of Lego in the loft, when I found my first school report. This report is from June 1989. I would have been in my reception year, age 5. Here is the report in all its glory:

Here are a few of my favourite quotes:

Keith has found the discipline of class routine hard to accept.

He does tend to interupt [sic] and not give the others a chance!

His short term memory is poor, he often forgets what he’s supposed to be doing.

His poor coordination leads him to dislike many activities in PE.

Little regard for safety.

I found it remarkable how much of the report is still valid, 35 years later.
