Hmmm. I am still feeling low after my pupil behaviour panel this morning. It’s hard when you know that the child’s prospects are very low :(

To make matters worse, I have run out of milk which means either I get off my backside and go buy some, or my tea will be black. I like black coffee, can drink black breakfast tea, but prefer it white. I may need chocolate too... purely for comfort purposes you underrstand :D

Good mornooning all.

It’s a lovely morning, but I shall be shut in a meeting room at a school about 10 miles from here considering the behaviour of a young person and how the school handled it. This is the least savoury side of being a school governor. It’s never easy when this happens :(
You’ve got a troublemaker on your hands there Linda:D

And sometimes it is not entirely the young person’s fault. Behind pretty much every exclusion is a web of problems caused by adults... often those who should be caring most for the young person.

If you have a parent that supports you in your ambitions, helps you understand right from wrong and helps you understand that sometimes the answer has to be no then give them a massive hug because there are a lot of young people that don’t get that.

Ogh, I thought you were going to say “purely for medicinal purposes”! :)

Ahh sorry I didn’t consider that, my sister would be interested in the psychology of that, she’s studying it at the moment and I never understand a word she says about it:D

I don’t think I understood properly until I became a school governor. It’s easy to assume that every parent gives the same level of care as you experience in your own family.

It’s only when you experience what’s happening outside your own circle that you start to understand. It’s why I carry on as a governor. Somebody has to care about these youngsters... the schools do so much but they need governors as well to do their job properly.

Cold start to our morning, between 0 and 5 C (32-40F) in the region with frost in some of the colder areas. But, once the sun pops out, it should warm up and be a great Spring day.

I have more grass to cut today and always have tree limbs to shred and clear. Always something to work on.

Me too! -4c when I woke up

Sounds like a tough job Linda, I don’t think think I’d be confident to do that job.
