    That's what I always wanted to do with them. I hated filling out those comments. It's so pointless.

    Did most people even read them?
    I saw a scan once of like two full pages of comments for one student. All straight 3's or obviously randomly assigned numbers and EVERY comment was generic like 'good work' or 'did ok'.

    -- Good effort.

    -- Come to voice class.

    These were my standard notes. I also really liked...

    -- 3PS

    ...which just means that the student dropped the third person "s" a lot, like "He drive(S)"

    The staff would look at the file comments when they were reviewing the student's progress. But some of the staff members had pretty limited understanding of English, so they didn't really know what the comments meant anyways.
