Review title: Useful adjectives?
Product review: I thought the messages in this book were mostly negative. There were several helpful phrases, but I would NEVER use adjectives such as "antisocial, tense, overcritical, impertinent, quarrelsome, resentful, or nervous" to describe a student. They sound very judgmental and can be worded differently to get the point across. I also felt most of the phrases in each category - "academic achievement" for example, were negative comments... ex: "fails to, never, sacrifices, needs to, makes mistakes, is confused about, has difficulty, doesn't always, is inconsistent, would improve if..."I may be wrong, but I would appreciate more POSITIVE academic/behavior comments as most of my students are doing well.
