STOP THE REPORT CARD REFLEX: The "report card reflex" describes the negative reaction of a parent--or other adult in a caretaking role with a child-stimulated by a child’s report card from school. The, reflex may take the form of physical action, such as spanking or hitting a child, or it may take the form of psychological punish ment, such as isolating a child from his/her friends or brutally verbalizing the child. The "reflex" is usually spontaneous, often harsh, and varies in duration; for some kids confrontation lasts only hours, while for others it may continue for days, weeks or even months. Parents should remember that Report Cards: • are sometimes the only communication between teachers and parents • generally focus on aca demic progress, but are to o ls fo r Reporting school behavior (usually problems) as well. • can provoke a range of responses from parents, depending on a number of factors. • are sometimes viewed by parents as being a direct reflection on them or a personal affront' NCPCA has produced an ad campaign to pro vide parents with an alternative response to the "reflex".
