And if he is perfect you will pluck you hair with your thumb and forefinger?
Sorry if that sound sarcastic, it brought back memories of when my son was
home for almost a year.
He has autism, the LEA refused him a place in a specialist school that had
everything I felt he needed.
They placed him in a school for children with severe learning disabilities?
That means a million things! anyhow He stayed home I educated him in my own
unique way, they tested him again and he got a place in the school I chose
originally???
The result is an happy ending for the kid who is now seventeen with a life
he loves.

Subject: sub: If you are good...
with apologies for absence, a little poem on the subject of discipline from
a reluctant part-time home-schooler.
If you are good.
For Thomas
If you are good I will give you
a garden of early spring pokèmon
a vineyard of ripe bionicles
a Sosmix of tie-dyed stories
a twilight of sheepskins
and a warm wind of dreams.
If you are naughty you will get
an avalanche of expectations
an earache of spinach
a dustbin-day of directions
a trigonometry of toe-clippings
and a nightmare of melted cheese.
