Midterm grades just came out. The day before they were to be sent home, all of the sixth-grade report cards (with 12-year-old students) were stolen! The teacher had them all in a folder, and in the space of a few minutes, they were suddenly missing! I nbever heard of this happening in a school. I’m sure some student who was afraid of his parents seeing his low grades thought that if the report cards got lost, that his parents wouldn’t hear about his low grades.
The entire sixth-grade class was kept after school while three faculty members searched every student’s desk, bag, and every cupboard in the class. They were never found. The principal came the next day and gave a very severe talk to the whole class. As the reports in our school are still all handwritten, the result was that all the sixth-grade parents had to come in to the school to see their children’s mid-term grades.
Our school is in the process of computerizing. Our end-of-term grades will be done on-line. Our computer specialist says that once we are on line, no one will be able to steal report cards again!
Has anyone else ever had their report cards stolen?
