Parent asks if superlatives are too rude Dear Carolyn: My daughter's second-grade teacher gave each kid a cer tificate at the end of the year. Many had “Nice Friend" or “Good Reader" on them, but a few stood out: “Class Clown," “Miss Manners" and “Social Butterfly" seemed most egregious to me. My daughter was “Miss Manners," and she is indeed polite. The school principal thought the cer tificates and labels were “heartfelt." I've also contacted the district superinten dent but haven't received a reply. Ann I being too sensitive in thinking these are backhanded compliments, or just plain rude labels? I would've been even more upset had my child been labeled “Class Clown.” — K.

I might have said to the teacher: “Super latives always flirt with stereotypes, and I know you mean well, and I'm seriously splitting hairs. But 'Funniest' and ‘Best Manners' would land better because they're rewarding vs. labeling.” Might have said. I also might not have said boo. Because teacher, heart felt, second grade, June ... But district superintendent? This teacher ran your kid's kitten rodeo every business day for nine months, said goodbye to each kitten with lov ingly drawn-up certificates that, okay, inched (millimetered?) over the line in some (hardly new) cases, and your idea of an appropriate response was to set your own hair on fire and run to the district superintendent? Uhhhhhhgh. Fates willing, you have a long road ahead of you as a conscientious parent supervising your child's education. The road will have hazards, detours and potholes, I promise. To expect this road to be perfectly smoothed out — by your own actions or the schools' — is not a reasonable goal. It is not happening. These, however, are reasonable goals: 1. To round out a crew (includ ing your child and the school) that navigates these hazards and meets your child's educational needs — if not perfectly, then transparently and suffi ciently for her to gain independence and pursue success in the world as it is. 2. To have a functional definition of “necessary.” Again, as your child gets older, she will increasingly become the one who determines whether and how you need to intervene at the school.
