Code Words

As a teacher, I have developed code words over the years when discussing children with parents...

If I say...your child is working their heart out....I might mean, but not progressing as much as I would like....

or....

Right now, you child is more interested in the social aspects of school.......I really mean, your child will not stop talking...

So, how do I take it when Mo's teacher tells me....your daughter is very 'enthusiastic'. enthusiastic? ENTHUSIASTIC? I have this image of Mo running, screaming, looking like a whirling dervish in the classroom.

I guess I am not that surprised.
