the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.
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.”

WONDERWORD ANSWER FOR
JULY 12
Vacation
I don't love some of these, either. 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.
