The school and teachers do make all the difference. My sister did not do well in school (for very different reasons). In her junior year of high school, my parents moved her to a private school where no one knew her (everyone knew everyone in our small community) and there were no preconceived notions of who she was and what she could do. From almost failing, she went to top of her class. It really is a wonder how much the "fit" of school and student matters. Toto muust be over the moon with this recognition. Go Toto!

Sometimes it just takes a change of environment and a resetting of the clock to allow kids the opportunity to be themselves and shine. Wow. that is great news.

We do interim reports here too (we call them mid-term reports) each trimester - ours are optional, and intended to let the parents know if their child is having trouble in a particular class before it's too late. They can also be used for positive feedback, but so many teachers choose to only send home negative ones. Of course it's important for the parents to know if their child is struggling, but I think it's equally important for them to know when their child is doing well. So I make it part of my job to send one home for every student - good or bad - and even on the bad ones I always try to find something positive to say in the comments section. A little bit of positive feedback goes a long way. Congratulations to Toto on a job well done. J I wish all teachers understood how important positive feedback is.
