School crisis

[Guest guest]

Thanks Steph, Sara, Margaret and Mandi for your sobering comments. It's

easy to get misty eyed about the old country when the only option here

is something that costs almost as much as Eton but is actually just a

very ordinary school, which, like most schools, has its islands of

excellence, but is otherwise unexciting.

I will try to arrange another meeting, but the climate is so negative

at the moment and the heat is really on him. Teacher just isn't

bothering with him - not following through with anything and just

leaving him to do more or less what he wants, and all the teaching to

the shadow. Being a stickler for calendars and schedules,

noticed at once that his shadow was back and is not happy about it. He

can't understand why, and sees it as a punishment, despite her efforts

to make out that she had only come in to give him a present she owed

him. Poor kid.

Thanks again everyone,

Anne-Marie
