Wow! You were fun to teach! My mother did save every report card I ever had (let's hear it for mothers) but they weren't so outstanding. I was a social studies / English good student and a mediocre math / science student.
Haha, interesting timing. I'm actually gonna bring in my framed Kindergarten Diploma to work this morning so I can hang it near my desk. Other than Nursery School, it's the only diploma I own (I didn't bother getting my high school diploma and I didn't go to college).
See, why couldn't I get report cards like that? All of mine were always on fire, or laced with cyanide, or exploded on contact with my fingers, or yelled from the school's rooftop as the teacher doused him or herself in gas and lit a match.
Those used to be the days when school was fun and report cards meant something, but weren't the scary things you had to show your parents. Now they are just letters that equate to numbers that you must stress about to make sure you are at a high enough ranking in your class to get into the university that you want. Give me my FOUR STARS!
My parents actually enlarged and framed my eighth grade report card. It was the first time I'd ever gotten straight A's, after nearly failing the seventh grade. I got teased a lot by my siblings because of it.
Hehe, in contrast to my Prep grades, I pretty much didnt work at all in my final year, dropped advanced mathematics - and changed into art (strange how little has changed since prep).

hehehe I know all mine are around somewhere, my mother saves everything. I should dig some of them out.
Mine had prime example of my stunning(ly bad) handwriting and my teachers worried I would not be able to use scissors and the like.
YOU try using those stupid righty scissors as a lefty. Not much fun. :P
Oh, the stories they'd tell...

And the letters used to stand for words, like O for Outstanding!

I still managed to get a great grade though!
