They are proper cool
Did you hand draw them all?

The annoying thing is that you can spend hours on stuff like this and the kinds never realise.

Yeah it took bloody ages but I am really pleased with them.
I like making stuff like that though it's therapeutic.

What year group do you have?
I had year one last year and loved it.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Feb 2011, 17:18, Reply)

Year one, they are ace. Bar the mentalists.

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 13 Feb 2011, 17:20, Reply)

I love year one.
They start the year only vaguely aware of their own name an leave able to read and write, a bit.

Even the mentalists are fun. I had three last year with 'behavioural needs' but luckily I had a brilliant TA who could keep them on track while I got on with the teaching.

We have two who have one 2 one assistance and even then they manage to disrupt the whole class.
But you are right they are a brilliant age. And it's easy to see added value at the end.

Two with one to one assistance?
For behaviour issues or more complex needs?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Feb 2011, 17:32, Reply)

behaviour both of them.
One is in foster care and might be the devil and the other was in a nurture group but back in class now.

We have a few of those.
I don't have my own class this year, I'm doing PPA cover, so I tend to meet a lot of our children with behaviour issues. We tend to attract them. We've got one kid starting next week that the PRU have washed their hands of after he broke the deputy heads nose!

It worries me that there are so many young children with these kinds of issues.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Feb 2011, 17:41, Reply)

that's nuts, it is a worry though.
This kid saw his mum raped twice by his dad who was then thrown in jail and the mother couldn't cope so he got taken away. He is overly aggressive and sexual and will not cooperate with adults.

Oh the poor soul.
It is so heartbreaking when you have children that have real issues to deal with like that. You can forgive them for their behaviour. Doesn't help when they are kicking and swearing though.

Jesus christ that's dreadful
how do you get so fucked up so young?

I'm not young
or particularly fucked up.

Pfft!
I meant that it's dreadful that you can barely be out of kindergarten and already a little monster. It's so unfair.
(berk, Sun 13 Feb 2011, 17:52, Reply)

We have taken children who have been excluded
from nursery.
Sometimes something dreadful, like the case above, has happened. But sometimes its just a case of the parents needing help parenting and not knowing where to get help. Also the parents don't realise they need help. They don't know that their child's behaviour is not the norm.

A friend of my sister fostered a blue eyed, blonde haired boy who looked like an angel.
He had lots of problems due to his parents being heroin addicts. To see him blossom under her care was wonderful. She's just a normal mum with some training in childcare and all she did was love him and care for him.
( girlinthehole, Sun 13 Feb 2011, 18:02, Reply)

Sadly often all these children need is to be loved and cared for
but it's something the parents can't or won't do.
We had a family of children all of whom were taken into care after the school got involved.
The mum just wasn't coping and the children were dirty and not being fed.
The first day they came back to school in clean clothes and the girls all had ribbons in their hair I think every member of staff cried.

All any child needs is to be loved, fed, kept clean and warm but this seems to be so difficult for so many people.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Feb 2011, 18:08, Reply)

But it bloody shouldn't be
it's the easiest thing in the world, for most people at least, to love and nuture a child. If you can't manage it, don't get pregnant. It's just wrong that so many children are failed on so many levels.
(berk, Sun 13 Feb 2011, 18:12, Reply)

And given that, for women at least. contraception
has never been easier to use or more readily available, there is no excuse.
You can get an implant that keeps you baby free for 3 years.

I'm pretty sure I would be shit at it
it doesn't sound easy to me at all
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Feb 2011, 18:16, Reply)

I don't have kids
but I interact with them a fair bit, what with the babysitting and my nephew and stuff. You can't help but love the little buggers even when they are being their most trying. That really is easy. And it's not particularly difficult to make sure a child is clean and well fed, nor to teach it reading, writing etc etc. And if you do it right it's so rewarding to see them grow. People who have kids for benefits, or because they don't know any better, or to be a pawn in a relationship, and who then fail to take care of those children...christ, it makes me furious. Think first, for fucks sake - these are real people that you're fucking up.
