I thought I’d got everything down in plenty of time, but my son has pointed out various bits of tinsel I’ve missed 🤦🏻‍♀️

In my first job the kids asked me where I was from as ‘you’re geet posh you’. I was working less than ten miles from where I grew up. The ‘posh’ uni obviously had more of an effect than I thought!

… He has an EHCP now, so has TA support, and an ed psych recommends removing him from the classroom before he gets overwhelmed (which seems reasonable to me), but he has been excluded before when they haven’t recognised that he’s getting anxious. I’m honestly not sure who that helps.
