| − | Some schools however have chosen to send report cards online. This ensures that the parents can receive the cards and prevent children from conveniently losing them on the way home.

| − | However, viewing report cards online can also have disadvantages. For me reading grades on the Internet just doesn't seem personal. I also want my son to be responsible and brave enough to hand me his card personally.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Online cards also do not contain the usual descriptions that allow parents tom know more about their children's progress at school. Although I realize that teachers these days have more students and not as much time, I still think that time should be found to make report cards as personal as they were in my school years.

| − | Do you really understand what your child's report card is telling you? Most parents have no idea what they mean. Here are some simple clues to deciphering the 'teacher talk'.

| − | | |
| − | The end of the year means that you will be getting the end of year report card, the BIG one that should tell you how well your child has progressed during the year.
| |
| − | | |
| − | So here are some tips on how you can actually understand what the 'teacher talk' really means.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. If the report card has anecdotal comments always ignore the first sentence.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Teachers try to say good things so the first sentence is usually positive but it is the 'but' that comes after that really gives you the information you need.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. There are rules about report card writing and you need to know them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Teachers are often told what they can and cannot say in report cards. For instance, i was not allowed to say that the child had failed, only that he had not 'achieved the required standard of work'. You need to know the rules so that you can understand what is being said. Not sure how you get them, you might have to talk to your child's Principal.

| − | 3. Work out what the grades mean.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Has your child got a 'A" for effort, work done, attitude, or progress? It makes a difference. Sometimes teacher do not know how and why they give grades, it might be a good idea to find out how they do it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Do the grades make sense?
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you are shocked by a grade that your child has been given (either because it is higher or lower than you expected) ask questions. You need to know why there has been a change. When a teacher and a parent work as a team, everyone benefits.

| |
| − | Few people, to be precise educated people, would deny paramount importance of the time interval between receiving the School Report Card to submitting it, signed duly by the parent. Those few moments, whether haunting or over exciting, does make the dads and the grand dads nostalgic, and miss the good old days when proxy signatures used to be the last hope. Today, they have got better systems, better facilities and there is no scope to play a nice little trick.

| − | Since the technological indulgence may help the parents to have the report card, sent through an electronic mail or any other digital service, proxy or no proxy is out of question.
