To be able to attend to those needs is a privilege, and it’s one of the many joys that come with being back at school this week. Photograph: iStockPaul’s struggle to keep his eyes open during class was very real, but I’m used to seeing that. Today his head kept bobbing forward too and he was not quite catching it quickly enough so others started to notice.
Sile is over by the window and is known as the flashcard queen. Whenever I need to make new sets I ensure that the full-page sheets and scissors are on the window sill by her desk. No matter how many I leave Sile always gets them done, and she manages to cut along the lines in a way that I never do, not even when I am at my most careful. She loves having something like this to do and swears it helps her concentrate.
I’m also conscious of perhaps falling short when it comes to Catherine. She has recently returned from a significant period of school refusal and is trying to reintegrate, as well as adjust to the news of a diagnosis that she and her family waited a long time for. She verbalises a need for explanations so that she can catch up, but her body language and the fact that she tends to over-participate betray a deeper need: to feel she is contributing to the group again.
gee I hope none of those teachers are groomers
