Great blog by Helen about her daughter's new school:


Let’s talk BS
You thought I was talking about blood sugar but I mean the dreaded ‘big school’.

For seven years our children are in a class with people who know our children well, probably every teacher in the school knows them. Then suddenly they are launched off to a world where their form tutor knows them – some of the other teachers will but generally they are ‘just another’ child. Arrrggghh – scary times.

Emma, my daughter, has nearly completed her first year at senior school and it has gone well. We are very lucky as they are a good caring school but not everyone is as lucky.

Can you imagine what it was like in the 70s ? There was 3 T1 in my class. We had to look after each other. Teachers where good but did not know like 99% of people at the time. 😉
