Every. Single. One. of my teachers from K through 8 (8th grade is when teachers stopped writing comments) always wrote that I spoke wayyyyyy too much.
I honestly just couldn't keep my mouth shut. I always finished assignments before everyone and wanted to talk about it. I never really gossiped or said anything inappropriate, but when I finished a reading assignment, I'd wait, see my neighbor finished it too, and then talk to them about the assignment/homework! I also would talk about dumb things like tv shows, but whatever, kids are kids.
jmgg is always talking in class. jmgg goes out to recess when his work isn't done.
You know, my guess is most of us on this site have gotten a note sent home on our report card stating that we talk too much in class. That's why we're yacking on here all the time.
Most public schools use standardized comments now in NYC. You choose a number, for example "9" and put that into the file. Then it will print out what that code is on the comment card, "Honor roll achieved in this subject."
Mine almost always said I needed to participate more because I was too quiet. Being shy and introverted is offensive, apparently.
The thing that surprised me about this list is that it's clever, grammatically up-to-snuff, and contains no misspellings -- as far as I can see. Must be my bias, but I've heard that public school teachers in the Big Apple are barely literate. Maybe that's true for a small minority of them only.
I found early on, of our computer selections, the fewer the better.
There is a reason why a child is not doing well, and 99% of the time, it starts at home. I try to minimize contact with such losers, so anything I do, that might spawn a conference, I put aside.
I use only two:
"a pleausure to have in my class"
and
"chatty"
Most students get no comment. I wish I could be honest, if so, the above list, which is funny, would seem generous and quite complementary.

Of course, the list is fun, but bogus, and public school teachers in New York City are a far cry from barely literate.
My teachers consistently commented throughout my school years like this:
Your Son is definitely one of the smartest and brightest kids in the class, BUT he can't stop talking and making jokes...he lacks focus at times and he distracts other students and gets them to focus on him!!!
Yikes.
My report cards from 40 some odd years ago read just like that. I had several careers and ended in the space industry working for name schools, government installations and corporations. I even juggled being a musician in there along the way.

It definitely starts at home....100%
My parents believe that "if a kid WANTS to be good in school....they will"......
I don't agree at all...if you leave it up to the kid to choose to be good in school or not- most kids will choose to goof off and act like kids.....that's what I did because no one did anything about it either way.
You have to make doing well in school a HABIT....and that starts early in age and AT HOME.....
If kids are already doing well in school because it's become A HABIT.....
Then the increased distractions of high school and teenage life will have less of a tendency to get them "off track" so to speak.
