What would your characters get on their school reports? What would their teachers say about them? What grades would they get? Feel free to do individual subjects or just a general teacher's comment.

Ooooh such a coolio prompt!! Here's my main five!

Pike: I mean considering how her childhood was she was likely had VERY high grades but had a lot of bad behaviour. Likely picking fights or snapping back at people, not enough to get kicked out but enough to make a name for herself as the crazy one. If she were to go into school as an adult, she would still be getting high grades and very organised, maybe tutoring others.

Otis: Fairly average grades, not a bad kid but is constantly being critiqued of his lack of class engagements and being too shy to talk. Would 110% get called on by the teacher to try to get him to at least have a word of input in but would end up a panicking mess afterwards.

Ember: She's like in 5th grade now so its not that hard but she does really well! Similar to Otis she would have average grades but would be hella engaged and ready to learn as much as she could. Not a teacher's pet but highly spoken of in the teacher's lounge.

Zara: Okay school for her originally was not the best experience being black in 1950s America, but she was a very obedient student who rarely spoke up much. Usually keeping to herself or her friend Edmund. BUT if she were to go to school now, she'd be the one person who always seemed to be out partying or with friends but somehow gets one of the highest grades in the class? How does she do it? Maybe its Maybeline?? Truth is she has a really good memory and picks up on academic topics quickly.

Jax: Little bit on the lower end but not concerningly low, I can see him struggling a lot on staying motivated when it comes to his subjects since all he wants to do is learn about human culture and history and concepts. Usually gets things done the night or two before its due but overall not a bad kid in class.

here's a report i made because i have too much free time

Student Name: Blaze Antilles
Form Group: 11A

Form Teacher Comments:
I still remember the first time I met Blaze, back when she was just a Year Seven. I remember seeing her looking after another pupil, Riyah, and thinking what a kind young person she was. And while Blaze can certainly be loud, rambunctious and easily distracted, she's proved her kindness many more times over the years I've known her.

Teacher Comments:

Physical Education:
Blaze has loved PE from her first lesson in year seven! She puts everything into whatever sports she tries and always does her best. Her athleticism and agility are absolutely outstanding, and she's incredible at trampolining especially. If she wanted, I'm sure she would be able to consider a career in sport.

English:
Blaze is always engaged with the class and loves group discussions. She is always the first to volunteer for games and absolutely loves debates - although they do get rather heated when Blaze is involved! She enjoys creative writing, though I must admit her stories have a tendency to dengenerate into violent fights and action scenes, even when they start off as a simple description of scenery. What I would most like her to focus on is the act of focusing. She is easily distracted and constantly staring at the window whenever she is uninterested in the work - I'd like it if she put the same effort in as when she finds something enthralling as when she finds it less so.

Grades (0,9):
English - Grade 7
Maths - Grade 6
Science - Grade 5,6
PE - 9

Name and House: Shai Demyra, House of Moray (Heir)
Session and Seaform: Four, defined as a green moray

Control (out of 10): 7.5

History: 8 Teacher Comments: Shai has a good understanding of Veridin's history, and could easily have a 10, if she put her mind to it and focused. I do not appreciate the bored air with which she answers questions.

Mainlands: 9.

PE: 7. Teacher Comments: There have been reports of Shai 'cheating' in games. Please note for the future that shifting yourself is accepted, while shifting partially is not. Shai's Comments: I didn't CHEAT. Owen had his teeth out and his eyes were starting to shift. Did you mark him as an alleged cheater? Teacher's Comments: These are for your own reflections, not an opportunity for debate.

Participation: 8. Teacher's Comments: Shai readily participates in subjects she enjoys, less so the ones she doesn't. Again, I would like to point out the bored, almost disdainful air she adopts when she doesn't feel like the subject is worth her time. Shai's Comments: That's just my face. While you're at it, let's go poke fun at Owen's or Caleb's face. Theirs are way weirder. Teacher's Comments: Shai also needs to work on her respect for others.

Session Leader's Comments [2XP]: Shai is fun to teach. She isn't afraid to debate or point out mistakes, though she could do so with a more polite manner. Her arguments are nearly always sound. She pays attention to her classmates and gives them a chance to voice their opinions. She is progressing well in her extra sessions, though she could perhaps pay a little more attention.
Teacher's Comments: Shai is smart and willful, though her attitude could be improved a bit. Otehr than that, what 2XP said.

Official Grade, all subjects (out of 100): 81
Official Grade, Extra Sessions (ditto): 89.3

Clove -
An outstanding medic witch. Very caring of his peers. He is always enthusiastic about his studies, but his grades could be improved. We have multiple counts of- "Didn't let me jump off a roof on a broom," "Didn't let her jump off a roof on a broom," "he's my friend," and "Lets me use his medic pass sometimes," …We'll talk to him about that last one. But, despite a rocky start, he seems to be making friends and doing fine.

PS- Does he plan on returning the book- 'Advanced Apothecary Arts'- to the library? It has been two months.

Overall Score - (out of 100)- 94.2%

Liz -
Liz is enthusiastic about learning new things, but is impulsive, somewhat. A slight problem with patience, once performing a one-man protest in the hall, but with no apparent ill intention, and received minor repercussions. She is enthusiastic and competitive in team sports, but with two counts of accidental(?) destruction of property by fire. Please discuss this with her. She is working on controlling her Talent. She is remarkably… different than her twin, August.

PS- is she studying at home?

Overall Score - (out of 100)- 76%

Frances -
As expected of their predecessors, Frances excels at all subjects, particularly divinity. They have a bright future. However, they often struggle with an attitude problem. They have a strong voice. It is still unclear whether or not they have a Talent. They can sometimes open their Eye, but this results in sometimes distorted Visions and extreme fatigue. We have asked them to stop doing that during school hours, as it may affect their grade. Contrary to their seventh and eighth years, they have multiple friends.

PS- Are you aware that they have, twice, come to class unwell? Frances has never missed a day of school.
