At Calday Grange grammar school, my report (Letters, 31 January) stated: “Mason sometimes plays the buffoon.” To his everlasting credit, my father did not seem at all bothered. He said he was pleased that I was at learning to play at least one musical instrument.

• As a charity fundraiser at my secondary school, I could nominate which charities we collected for. I was a bit miffed when my report said: “A great supporter of causes, however lost.” Well, I supported the Anti-Apartheid Movement for more than 20 years, though maybe my present charity, Freedom from Torture, may take a little longer to see results.
