Spread your wings and fly away

Two children, two children who are different to each other.

one is academically minded the other one struggles.

No surprises then that their school reports are so, so different.

One tells me that my child is wonderful, always smart, on time to lessons, always does some high quality work, always has the right equipment, always does what he is told to do without question and hands things in on time. In all subjects he is expected to get good grades, in all subjects he produces very good work and has some good ideas. Teachers are very pleased with him.

The other one tells me my son needs to try harder, is struggling, needs support and though he has friends and has settled in well it is obvious that he is not achieving as he should.

Could they be so different?

The only thing that is the same in both reports is that they are polite, helpful and willing to learn!

So I am doing something right then

This is truly inspirational, please look at the link below

I woke this morning with a smile upon my face. A lovely dream where I was able to talk to family members and friends that are no longer with us in the flesh, where my problems were shared, where I was able to see that things will be ok.

Meeting this afternoon with the Head, hopefully to tell me where I will be next year. Yesterday I was feeling a bit panicy(sp) about it all, today I am calm so perhaps my 'talk' did me good - and yes I did talk in my sleep as well, apparently hubby was listening in to something that made no sense to him

He is in a far better mood this morning as well. We hugged last night and talked through everything that had bothered him over the past few weeks and what happened to him yesterday. Nothing is as bad as it first seemed and he was able to look at it all calmly so peace is restored once more in our little household.

Observation: Why does my eldest insist upon having his school bag on him when he is making sandwiches?

In other news the sun is shining and today is another day. It promises to be a good one and as long as no one upsets this equilibrium, all will be right in Faffa's world
