Not in today but full days Monday and Tuesday. We are starting to gather more text books and work more on homework together so it’s possible it will quietly become a split learning environment after all. Glad I stopped working today

Serendippily Oct 2022 8:37am, 13 Oct 2022 26,815 posts	0 Serendippily Teen likes her front of the hall spot - the advantage of surname being early in alphabet. She’s made it in to every formal assessment - last one today - and has written stuff in each. The pressure to learn and cram is relentless but she is trying really hard to swim upstream with everyone else rather than let the current suck her down and under. That’s my extended metaphor for the day done ✅
