COMMENTS: Behaviour
1=#H behaviour and attitude in class are both #quality.
2=#N's behaviour and attitude in lessons remain #quality.
3=#N should aim to take more pride in the presentation of #h work. At times it is difficult to work out what #e has written or tried to show in #h book.
4=#N would find #h work a lot easier if #e concentrated more on #h work and less time creating distractions.
5=#N would find #h work a lot easier if #e concentrated more on #h work and was not so easily distracted.
6=#N should also try to answer questions more carefully, rather than shouting out and disturbing the lesson.
7=#E should also try to ensure that #e comes to lessons suitably equipped to learn. On too many occasions #N has not had a pen, pencil or #h books.
8=#N needs to try and improve #h concentration so that #e doesn't miss important details and information.
9=#N should try to do #h best in all #h work as #e does tend to coast through #h lessons. If #N pushes #s more then #e will do #effortlist better.
10=In general, #h has a good attitude to learning, but unfortunately #h behaviour can #frequency let #m down.
11=In general, #N's behaviour is #quality; #but, #e would find things a lot easier if #e concentrated more on #h work and was not so easily distracted.
12=On the whole, #N's behaviour is #quality; #but, #e would find #h work a lot easier if #e focused more and put in that little extra effort.

COMMENTS: Homework
1=#H homework is #frequency handed in on time and this is completed to a #quality standard. This is something #e should endeavour to #todonext next year.
2=#H homework is #frequency handed in on time and this is something #e must #change for next year.
3=Furthermore, #h homework is #frequency handed in on time, with no late submissions.
4=#But, homework is an area of concern, as #N needs to ensure that it is completed with the required amount of effort and handed in before the deadline.
5=#But, homework needs to be an area of focus. It needs to be detailed and well thought out, taking the required amount of time to complete. If #N is ever stuck with homework #e should come and ask for help straight away.

COMMENTS: Improvements 
1=I would #recommend #e to focus on improving #h organisational skills, so that #e comes to every lesson fully prepared.
2=#N now needs to ensure that #e reads through #h work, in between lessons, and that #h spends more time revising. This should ensure that #N's grades improve and that #e is a step closer to attaining #h target grade.
3=#N now needs to read through all #h written work to ensure that there are no mistakes and that #e has included all the correct keywords and terms.
4=#N would benefit from setting some time aside to learn the correct spelling and use of key scientific terminology, as this would help #m to improve #h written work and attainment.
5=#E is attentive during lessons and is willing to answer questions, but I would like to see #m begin to contribute #h thoughts and go beyond just answering questions, as I believe that #h could add a lot to the class discussions.
6=I would like to see #N developing #h group working skills. At present the temptation to cause distraction when working with others is too great, meaning that often #N starts to fall behind in #h work.
7=I would like to see #N developing #h ability to work more independently on tasks. At present #e can give up too easily, when the work gets difficult. #E needs to persevere and try to solve the problem #s before asking for help.
8=I would #recommend #h to now focus on #h organisational skills and that #e tries to hand in every piece of homework before the deadline.
9=I would #recommend that #e now aims to improve their concentration in lessons and that #e tries to focus on the instructions being given.
10=#N would now benefit from regularly reading through and reviewing #h class notes, to ensure that #e is constantly revising and learning the content covered in class.
11=#N needs to read around the topics covered in class to broaden and improve #h general scientific knowledge.
12=I would also #recommend that #e improves #h attendance and that #e catches up on any work missed due to absence.
13=#N needs to ensure that #e starts revision for the next set of exams a lot earlier. This will ensure that #e is far better prepared.
14=#N would benefit from looking through exam-style questions from the textbooks, in order to start applying #h knowledge to an exam situation; paying close attention to the number of marks available for different questions.
15=I would #recommend that #e now focuses on improving #h exam technique and that #e spends more time practising examination style questions, using all the resources at #h disposal.
16=I would #recommend #m to carefully analyse those areas where marks were lost in the mock examination, and that #e studies the corrections we have gone through in class.
17=#N also needs to improve #h graph work skills. #H needs to be more accurate when drawing graphs as well as being able to comment on the patterns and relationships that pre-drawn graphs show.
18=One goal for next term would be for #m to ask questions when #e does not understand. I understand that #e may be shy, but I encourage #m to take #h charge of #h learning.
19=#E should also try to spend more time on #h homework and ask for help whenever #e is unsure about any of the activities.
20=I would encourage #N to focus on improving #h exam technique, by practising more examination style questions, from #h textbook and revision guide, as well as additional resources, such as those on the my-GCSEscience webpage.

COMMENTS: PHSE 
1=#N should now focus on completing #h Personal Statement for #h UK university application, so they have the best opportunity to access the course at the top of their choices.
2=#N has made a good start to Year 13. Overall, I am #feeling with #h report.
3=#N's punctuality is #progress, but #e must improve #h attendance as #e has missed a number of days of school. It is now crucial that #e catches up on any missed work due to these absences.
4=#N is a #characteristic member of my tutor group and I am #feeling to see that #e has received a #progress report this #Time-period.
5=#N's attendance is #progress and #e #frequency arrives for morning registration on time.
6=#N's attendance is #progress and #e #frequency comes to morning registration on time.
7=#N's attendance is #progress, but #e must improve #h punctuality as #e is #frequency late to morning registration.
8=It is clear from #h subject teacher comments that #N has performed #grade well in #subject and #subject.
9=#But #e must now focus on improving #h grade and work in #subject.
10=#H uniform is #quality and #e #frequency #follows the school rules.
11=#E wears #h uniform correctly and #frequency #follows the school rules.
12=#E #frequency #follows the school rules regarding uniform.

/*    You can also import comment files in the,
/*    Teachers Report Assistant format.
/*    There are 1000s around the web.

/*    YOUR EXISTING COMMENTS ARE SAFE:
