Do you discuss your child's results with other parents? Do you ask them about their kid's results?

The reason I ask is we had someone ask two of us. I thought it was poor manners.

No. DS is in Yr 2 and I'm not putting much credence in them so far so am not really interested in others and it's none of my business anyway. I just need to understand how my child is going which is difficult with these politically correct docements. This year he has gone from "Developing" to "Very High" in art. I get the feeling we got someone else's result this semester since even he says "I suck at art Mum".

No never ask and never tell. However when My son gets a glowing report I want to tell everyone and gloat but alas I never do.

No, not even if asked outright. It's not a competition, even though others try to make it one!

I'd ask a good friend. Not in order to compete, because I'm nosey & curious as to how others are doing.

I wouldn't care if a good friend asked me.

I don't mind asking/telling. I care about my friends' kids too, and it's lovely to hear when they're going well, or to be a sounding board if it's not.

It's only a competition if you're playing a game, and generally when I talk with friends about our kids, we're not.

If I did ask, it would be along the lines of "was X happy with her report card?" rather than "How many As did X get?"

I wouldn't ask anyone other than a good friend but yes, I've discussed reports with other mums at pick up in the past if someone has brought it up. Why not?

Quite funny actually. I caught one of them in a lie. I never let on that I knew she was lying about her kid getting As though. If she wants to lie about it that's her business. laughing2.gif
