Bob - its kind of like that, and different.
I checked with my parents and we got real actual reports when I was A junior's age ~ 10. It prompted them to book me extra lessons in some areas, encourage reading of any kind (I was a big comic book fan and now non-fiction and science) and get me into technology and I now work in IT. It has worked, I am lucky enough not to have been unemployed even in the dot-com nonsense. That tapped if I had to I would find something to do.
From A-junior's report I have no idea if he is doing OK or not. I suppose I shouldn't worry but we only get one go.
I'm going to send a copy to the Scottish Education Minister and ask him if he could actually work it out.
Home study is OK if you have the time, we both have to work full time to afford to live where we live - ironically this is so our son can access the local school which is supposed to be one of the top 5 or so in Scotland.
Madness.
