writing report card comments"writing report card comments" what positive comments teacher can write in students report cards?
Write only 3 brief sentences. All the three should be strongly positive. 1.The first sentence should encourage the student for the progress made in the field where he/she was lacking till the previous report. 2. The second will focus on the immediate problem- remember, it should be just one - handwriting, math, punctuality or any one thing in particular, hinted in a mild way. 3. The last sentence will boost the student's self-confidence & therefore will suggest his/her possible strong points that would help to get over the problem, again put in a sugar-coated manner. The student will be encouraged to make a self-assessment & will feel good about him/her self. The classmates & parents wouldnot have anything against him/her either. And you will be respected and loved!

Insider Secrets For Using Special Reports To Get More Customers
Special reports are one of the quickest and easiest ways to attract local prospects online and become an industry expert. Here are several insider secrets on how to write and use your special reports to get more customers.
First, don't over-think the writing process – just provide useful ideas about your product or service as if you were talking to a customer face-to-face. Ask yourself, "What information would my ideal prospect find helpful when considering my product/service?"
For example, let's say you sell office furniture. You might title your report "7 Critical Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Office Furniture." You could then explain why you shouldn't buy without first having a master plan … why basing your purchase on price could come back to haunt you … or why focusing too much on style instead of function could decrease employee productivity.
Get the idea?
If you don't feel comfortable writing, record your tips and then have them transcribed. Of course, you can also call me. I'll ask you questions and write your special report (and get everything set up for your website) based on the responses you gave over the phone.
The key to your special report's success is value. Give information so valuable your prospects would gladly pay you for it.
Once your report is ready, the easiest way to make it available on your website is a service such as AWeber. You can use AWeber to create your web form, collect/store e-mail addresses and deliver your report the instant your prospects request it.
If you're concerned about cluttering up your website's design, consider a lightbox. This type of web form allows you to display an opt-in box separate from your actual website. (For an example of how a lightbox works, click the link at the bottom of this e-mail to see one on my blog.)
In addition to offering the special report on your website and other targeted areas online, don't forget about your offline options. Mailers, advertisements and even your business card are great places to promote your special report.
A small classified ad for your special report might read something like:
WARNING … Need New Office Furniture?
Get these facts before you open another catalog
or walk into one more showroom. Your FREE
report, 7 Critical Mistakes to Avoid When
Buying Office Furniture, is available now at
(enter website).
Notice how there's no mention of a company name or a sales pitch. Instead, you're offering education.
Another easy and cost-effective idea is to distribute your special report as a flyer. Basically, you can print your special report on the front and back of a single sheet of paper and distribute it to targeted prospects at homes or businesses. You can also use the flyer as a handout at events where you're in contact with prospects.
Do some searching and you're certain to find a flyer delivery company in your area. You can even cut your costs completely by printing and delivering your special report yourself.
A few other tips for your special reports:
Include testimonials. Anything you say about your product/service is never as powerful as your customers' comments.
Weave in stories. Explain how people have successfully used your product/service.
Don't forget a call to action. Tell your prospects exactly what you want them to do after reading your special report.
Encourage sharing. Prospects will give your special report to other people, especially if you include a sentence telling them to do so.

Becoming a successful writer can be expensive, don't think just because you don't make a profit you can't write off your expenses.
My last article focused on whether your writing expenses are deductible. The key to deductibility is whether you are carrying on a business or a hobby. Business expenses are deductible against your other non-writing income, hobby costs are not. If your writing activities have you in the red, make them pay for you. Deduct them against your day job.
Since operating a business is the key to deducting your writing expenses, here are tips on how to demonstrate that you are operating a business.
Since you are required to report virtually all income on your return getting paid for an activity is not, in itself, proof that the activity is a business you are engaging in with the expectation of making a profit. To deduct expenses in excess of the income associated with those expenses, you need to be able to demonstrate that you are conducting a business. Here are some of the guidelines the IRS uses to make that determination.
1. You carry on the activity in a business-like manner. Comment: Keep good records. Open a separate checking account just for your writing activities. You can also get a separate credit card. Keep your writing expenses separate from your other expenses.
2. The time and the effort you put into the activity indicate you intend to make it profitable. Comment: Keep a calendar. If you keep a regular schedule for your writing, put it in your calendar. And don't forget the time devoted to book fairs, signings and other promotional activities.
3. You depend on income from the activity for you livelihood. Comment: If this is already the case, you are probably running in the black. Future articles will explain the kinds of costs you can deduct.
4. Your losses are due to circumstances beyond your control, or they are normal start-up costs. Comment: What does this mean? You can't deduct an item you willingly spent? Not at all! In most businesses, the expenses are controllable to some extent. It is the income that is unpredictable. You need to show that the expenses are ordinary and necessary to produce the income you seek. Losses in most businesses are due to circumstances beyond control, or there would be darn few losses!
5. You change the methods of operation to improve profitability. Comment: Generally, writers write and then attempt to sell. Some writers get advances, most don't. Put the emphasis here on your marketing. If sending out query letters to the top three book publishers doesn't work, then vary your plan. Send out queries to many more houses. Include small press publishers. Try to get an agent. Save all your query letters. Investigate self publishing as an alternative. Investigate freelancing.
6. You, or your advisors, have the knowledge needed to carry on the activity as a business. Comment: You plan to build a fan base over time through your published works. This is not a tough business plan to understand. If you have a tax guy, an agent, or other such professional advisors, you are golden. If not, this one shouldn't be a stumbling block.
7. You were successful in making a profit in similar activities in the past. Comment: One thing that really helps your cause is that you are profitable in one of three years. So, if you have one good year of selling a book or getting paid for copyrighting, etc., this goes a long, long way to supporting that your writing activities are a business.
8. The activity makes a profit in some years. Comment: Did I mention making money in one of three years?
9. You can expect to make a profit from the appreciation of assets used in your writing. Comment: Unless your typewriter is a valued antique, or you become super famous and can sell your original manuscripts for huge money, this is just not going to apply to writing.
The above guidelines are those the IRS considers in determining whether you are carrying on a business or engaging in a hobby. If you know the points and satisfy as many as possible, you are stacking the deck heavily in your favor. But remember, these rules are judgmental and are applied subjectively. The IRS says they take all the above factors into account; no one factor is decisive. The more of them you have nailed down, the better your case. If a careful measure of reason is introduced into the mix, you are pretty likely to come out ahead.
My future articles will address the kinds of expenses you can deduct in your writing business. Until then, here's to your profitable writing.

Helping Educators Identify Potential Rampage School Shooters
With school in session, there is always the concern that "it might happen here"; some kid may snap and go on a rampage shooting spree in our school. Educators ask themselves, "How can we know? How can we prevent it from happening here?" Senior Psychologist of PA Residential Programs at KidsPeace, Dr. Peter Langman was kind enough to offer some great advice aimed at educators and school administrators contained in his new book, Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters, which was published by Palgrave Macmillan in January 2009.
Definition
Dr. Langman defined a rampage school shooting as "a large-scale event where several people are shot or killed. Some victims may be targeted, but this type of event goes beyond that and includes random victims, too. These attacks are committed by students at the school or, in some cases, former students who may have been expelled or have left the school for some other reason." Langman was quick to point out that rampage school shootings differ from targeted shootings where two kids have a fight and one brings a gun to school to shoot the other. Rampage school shootings are also different from the tragedy at the Amish school a few years ago where a total stranger picked a school, held hostages and committed mass murder. He was an adult and had no connection to the school.
Langman stressed, "School shootings are rare events, and kids are much more likely to be killed at home, in their vehicles or in the neighborhood than they are at school. School continues to be the safest place there is for children in terms of where homicides and accidental deaths occur. Having said that, however, every school needs to be aware that it could happen there or anywhere, so they need to be on the lookout and know what to look for and have procedures in place."
Having a Plan
According to Langman, what all schools need to have in place is a Threat Assessment System. To develop such a system, Langman recommends the 2006 Guidelines for Responding to Student Threats of Violence by Dewey Cornell and Peter Sheras. He says it is an excellent manual for setting up threat assessment procedure at school, not just for school shootings but also for any kind of threat of violence. There are also guidelines on the Web sites of the FBI and Secret Service, which have both done research and produced documents on school shootings and preventing such attacks on schools.
Three teens and a recent high school graduate in Green Bay, Wisconsin, amassed an arsenal of guns and bombs and planned for two years to go on a rampage in East High School. A friend heard about their plans and told the principal, and the attack was thwarted.
Signs of a Threat
Attack-related behavior is the most important thing to look for when assessing a potential threat by a student, and, Langman said, it can take different forms. Attack-related behavior is anything a boy has done that indicates he is actually preparing a violent attack. It should be noted that Langman uses the words boy and he in this article because school rampage shooters are almost always male. Attack-related behavior can show up in different ways. One is called leakage, where potential shooters leak their plans or intentions to others, and it can take several forms:
• A boy may warn friends to stay away, telling them not to come to school on a certain day because something is going to happen
• Another type of leakage may be bragging to others, saying, "wait till you see what happens in the cafeteria tomorrow," encouraging people to come take a look
• Recruiting peers to assist in the assault is another form of leakage where the potential shooter says, "I'm doing this tomorrow, are you in?"
Additionally, if teachers or guidance counselors hear talk that a boy bought some guns over the weekend and is planning on using them at school, this is attack-related behavior. If a youth is known to be diagramming the school, thinking about where a bomb could be placed to bring down the whole building or talking about setting up a sniper position on the hill outside the main entrance, this planning is attack-related behavior, and a pretty imminent risk exists. "I want to emphasize that we are talking about behavior," Langman stressed, "things kids do rather than what clothes they wear, what music they listen to or what video games they play – these are not predictive. It is the behavior of the kid, not what he looks like that people should be assessing."
Another type of attack-related behavior identified in several cases is that the shooters take many pictures of themselves holding weapons and posing with firearms, or videotape themselves with guns prior to the attack. Sometimes they feel the need to record themselves with their weapons. In fact, one school shooting was stopped in California by a clerk at a photo shop who alerted police when developing a roll of photos of a young man with a whole arsenal of weapons. Police searched his room and found many guns and bombs and prevented an attack that was planned for the next day.
Other warning signs that are not as clearly predictive but might warrant attention include an obsession with violence and violent media, meaning a boy's talk, writings, assignments, class projects, oral reports and everything he does are about shooting people; such a fixation could be a red flag. "This does not mean that when a student writes a story where someone gets shot, there should be concern," Langman warned, "but, when there's a fixation on weapons and violence, it could be something to look into."
When asked if violence in general is an indicator that a youth is at risk, Langman said, "A prior history of violence suggests there is going to be a future history of violence; however, that is not always predictive. Shooters may never have been violent and then, one day, they erupt. It would be a mistake to think that because a boy has never done anything violent before, he's not going to now."
Metal detectors and security cameras do not work if a young man is intent on perpetrating a rampage shooting. He and his colleagues will have the entire act well planned and either elude or break through security. Langman believes that it is far better to invest money that is allocated to metal detectors and cameras into mental health counselors, school resource officers and psychologists to help meet the needs of kids who are depressed, abused and struggling to get by. "Schools will obtain better prevention through increased staff resources than physical security measures."
Two boys, aged 11 and 12, bragged of planning an attack on the school resource staff and then random students in South Carolina, but the sister of one notified the grandmother of the other, and the boys were stopped before hurting anyone.
Communication is Key
Determining the risk of a student requires the entire staff to work on identifying the pieces of the puzzle. As an example, a guidance counselor may hear that a boy was arrested over the weekend for possession of fire arms, the English teacher may get a story that the student wrote about wanting to come to school and shoot people. If the counselor and teacher are not sharing this information with each other, the pieces are never put together.
When asked how schools can make sure that there is communication about any potential risks or attack-related behavior, Langman said, "It differs among schools, but the disciplinary component, guidance counselors, psychology staff, teachers, coaches, maintenance workers, security officers and all adults working in a school need to be trained." "If they see something that raises a red flag, they need to know who to communicate with to share this information." This can be through formal meetings, e-mail, phone calls – whatever works in that school to ensure that red flags are noticed and reported to those who are responsible for the security of the school.
A 17-year-old in Belvidere, New Jersey, made a hit list of the students he was going to shoot in March of 2008 and showed it to classmates; they notified the police, and the shooting
was averted.
Getting Students Involved
"The number one thing that prevents school shooting is kids reporting what they hear," Langman stressed. "So, beyond training staff, the student body needs to be trained on what to look for and how to report a threat." Of course, students need to feel safe when they report something that they think may be a safety risk. "The important thing is making kids see the distinction between a tattle tale and a reporter," according to Langman. "When you tattle or snitch, you are doing something to get someone in trouble; when you report a safety concern, you are doing that to keep people safe. There is a fundamental difference between snitching and reporting. Students need to understand this difference and discuss what would happen if they report a friend, and what might happen if they do not." If a classmate reports a friend, he might be angry, but, if that information is not reported, he might come to school and kill the student or others and himself or get killed by police or end up in jail. "It is a stark reality that school shooters end up dead or in jail," Langman emphasized.
The best way to get students to take this subject seriously is to present details of actual events: "So and so was a 9th grader who was heard making comments about wanting to kill people at school. No one took it seriously, and, on the 20th of April, he came to school with these weapons and killed 10 people." Repeating the history of some of these shooters can make students realize that rampage attacks really do happen.
Emphasize that, if a student cares about a friend, he needs to do what he can to keep everyone else and the friend safe. "It is true that your friend might be angry, but, in the long run, he will be grateful," Langman said. "If you don't report it, and it happens, how are you going to live with yourself the rest of your life? It is better to have an angry friend in the short run than to have that kind of guilt in the long run."
To help students who fear for their own safety if they report a potential threat to authorities, there should be several ways to report their concerns, including voicemail, e-mail, a mailbox or a designated person to whom they can report safety concerns. A school safety officer should be available for students to express their concerns. Students should be trained about leakage and attack-related behavior and understand that nothing will happen to the boy they report if there is no threat. If a student is not sure that a safety risk exists, it is best to report what he knows and let trained adults assess the risk.
There should also be training available to parents, since they spend the greatest amount of time with their children and should know them better than anyone else. They should be alarmed if their child starts collecting weapons, hides weapons or bomb-making materials in his room, visits Web sites that teach bomb making or idolizes mass murderers.
In Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a parent saw plans posted on the Internet by her son and a friend to go on a shooting rampage in their school. She reported this to police, and the two 12-year-olds were apprehended.
What to Do if a Risk is Identified
What steps should a school take if a threat is reported? First, Langman said, staff should perform a threat assessment. They should find the youth who poses the alleged threat and keep him under close surveillance, particularly if the threat is deemed to be imminent. Bring the parents in and compile information from every possible source on whether this student is at risk of committing a violent act. If he is alleged to have already brought weapons to school, law enforcement should be contacted because that would be a legal violation. In the absence of a weapon on campus, the police will be helpful in intensifying the level of risk assessment and intervention. The aforementioned book by Cornell and Sheras discusses how to differentiate between substantive and transient threats.
If a boy is identified as being a potential threat, try to get him help before he escalates to an imminent threat. Langman is adamant about the need to reach out to kids in crisis, rather than simply punishing or suspending them, which does not resolve the situation and may drive them into greater crisis. "Typically, school shooters are very desperate and highly distressed kids; if the school can reduce the stress level, it can reduce the
threat level."
A 16-year-old in Indiana plotted a Columbine-like attack with the ambition of breaking the record for number shot in a single rampage. He posted his plan on MySpace and had a notebook with his plans in his locker. His plans were foiled when his MySpace post was reported to police.
Summing it Up
The key issue is what the student has done, not who he is, what he looks like, what music he listens to or who his friends are. The risk assessment should be based on behavior – if a youth thinks the Columbine shooters are cool, that might raise a red flag, but it's not a definite indicator that he will be a shooter. However, if this admiration escalates – if he talks about wanting to imitate Harris and Klebold and is acquiring firearms, then there is clear attack-related behavior. Beyond identifying potential risk, communication is the key to prevention: All staff members should communicate with each other if red flags are raised, as the combination of behaviors in different environments could suggest a true risk. Parents and the entire student body should be trained in the warning signs and know that their reporting what might appear to be the risk of an attack could save many lives, including their own.
In Wichita, five students at Riverton High School were arrested after posting on MySpace the details of how they were planning on killing 12 popular kids during a rampage shooting.
