Spring Report

It is the time of year when Finnish schoolchildren get their interim spring school report. Henry, somewhat reluctantly, produced his yesterday.

For children in the fourth class the grades are not given as numbers but categories. The system is such that first the child evaluates him- or herself and then he or she is given the teacher's evaluation, which is followed by some discussion.

  • knows the key elements
  • good
  • excellent
