6 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1work warning Explanation: I'm a little hesitant to provide the following reference, since it's from the Lycée Français de Chicago, but maybe their term "work warning" would fit in your document, too. Overall, the LFC document doesn't scream "translation." The President of the class council can also allocate sanctions: a work warning or a behavior warning can be given if proposed by the teachers or the teaching team. Work Warning The work warning is given to a student who does not work well or works very little in general. Behavior Warning The behavior warning is given to a student who exhibits negative behavior in all subjects. http://www.lyceechicago.org/assets/1/20/LFC_Parent_Student_H... |

15 hrs confidence:
needs to demonstrate improvement in (academic/class)work Explanation: or (a bit more blunt) must improve work habits needs to develop/gain/work on academic skills -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2014-10-04 10:14:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Not sure what you mean by sanction has to be included? Do you mean they are threatened with having to repeat like next suggestion below (although last bit may not be included on all cards)?Report cards in my experience have to be fairly PC and try to focus on positives with negatves couched in very diplomatic language. Parents are called into school for private meetings or spoken to more openly at PTA meetings when necessary. work not up to standard;will have to repeat year/course/level unsatisfactory effort: work needs major improvement in danger of having to repeat if work does not improve or not working to ability -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2014-10-04 10:18:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- academic standard falls far short/leaves much to be desired... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2014-10-04 10:56:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Maybe just use "warning" then. I'd stay away from "formal" as that brings the workplace and dismissal etc to mind... So, it's really a warning rather than comment? And what sanction is to be imposed? repeat of year? Expulsion? You haven't told us what the "Sanctions trimestrielles" are? so maybe Warning: sanctions (include if known) will/to be put in place/imposed, (say when if known) if work does not show (immediate) dramatic improvement OR Warning: module/course/year etc to be repeated for unsatisfactory academic work |

17 hrs confidence:
insufficient effort Explanation: In my day it was "could do better" but I'm sure terminology has changed. Insufficient work generally means that not enough work has been produced to give a representative mark, which isn't quite the same thing. The link is to a teacher dicussion on how to phrase this.
