Looking at the old report card, I turned its pages to read for the first time the message it offered to parents about the objectives guiding our education, and the cooperation that was expected from parents.  I told me a great deal about American education and its objectives in the mid-Twentieth century.

“It is the aim of the school to plan for its pupils happy, wholesome learning experiences. To benefit from school life, each boy and girl should grow in habits of cooperation, and should develop attitudes of friendliness, cheerfulness, and courtesy.”

“A report of your child’s growth in school subjects will be sent to you six times a year. You are requested to examine this report carefully and discuss such parts of it with your child as will be of advantage to him. Your comments in the space provided on this report will be appreciated.”
