school adaptation

we had been told by the other parents that there would be tears in the first part of the year as the kids adapted to “adaptation”. jj had been weathering fairly well, though she wasn't fond of the ambiance in the school. today, the teacher was collecting a homework assignment that jj had missed hearing about. she was terrified of the yelling that she was sure she would receive for not having it. however, the teacher kindly told her to bring it in the next day. jj said the teacher must have been in a good mood. she was relieved but that evening the pent up fear came out in tears. she was very upset in general with the approach of the teachers. she railed again about the boy who was wrongly punished. she said “you can’t even smile. they don’t want you to be happy” Print this post
