When he was at school Roald Dahl received terrible reports for his writing - with one teacher actually writing in his report, 'I have never met a boy who so persistently writes the exact opposite of what he means. He seems incapable of marshalling his thoughts on paper!'
Can you believe this? Our number one story teller gets a disgraceful comment from his teacher. This shows that Roald wasn't as interested in work until he grew old. This is a bad report but he got a similar comment like this every term (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter).
"A persistent muddler. Vocabulary negligible, sentences malconstructed. He reminds me of a camel." "This boy is a illiterate and indolent member of the class". "Consistently idle. Ideas limited".
After getting all these bad reports from his teachers, Roald has still become a world famous story teller and writer.
