• The year started out as bussy as always.

  I don't know why school plan reports at the beginning of the year.
  The girls only get two reports... one now and one in the summer.

  The meetings with the teachers was spread over two evenings.

  Our dyslectic girls was given a very positive evaluation.
  She's persistant in wanting to learn things. So eager.
  She's not afraid to ask questions.
  In a way she's very mature, so we all feel confident she'll do well in the future.
  
  I can remember putting up a fight at school there as all teachers said nothing was wrong.
  
  The youngest girl (as far as youngest applied to twins. LOL!), the youngest is doing fine, considering she's a bit behind in things.
  I don't like the teacher that started this month after getting a baby.
  She's the same who made the last year of our autistic son a hell.
  The teacher who worked before her this year lives only a couple of doors away from us, so I had plenty of chance to ignore the woman as much as possible. Not very polite... but when it comes to my children..

  In my country it's not easy to get the attention on learning difficulties.
  It's better than some years ago, but it's still  a struggle to find recognition.
  And I want her to be seen to.
  "She's only a couple of months behind...and she's so playfull and still so young. There won't be a problem to extend her stay at school for a year."
  "Yes, but the fact that you suggest that makes clear that she's not following at normal pace. And being slow at the curriculum might mean learning difficulties. She's bright, so she's trying to compensate"

  Today a heavy, unusually heavy storm is expected here.

  I'm going to prepare the garden for it, the first signs are already clearly in the air.

  I'll make my round of visits later.
  
  Enjoy your day!
