>we went for our interview with the Glasgow Steiner School yesterday. The most amazing thing about it is that laurie says he feels 10/10 about it. He has not felt 10/10 about anything for as long as I can remember!!!!!
We use numbers to guage feelings because it is the best way for laurie to explain how he feels about something and I know his scaling system so well that I can accurately guage what his reaction to something is. (Is that a split infinative – I know I do them alot).
to boldly go…..
anyway Tim had a good old laugh at the interview because they said that laurie wasn’t allowed to watch TV or play computers!!!!!!! he said my expression was priceless…
alert alert – this is boy who is learning german, chess , geography and history online. This is the boy who takes digital photos, manipulates them and makes art!!!
so on the one hand we have 10/10 and on the other we have – change this family forever!!!!
we’ll try it anyway….
Tim said that I looked so shocked bacause I wouldn’t be able to spend so much time on flickr!!!!
So did I get my new camera lens for my birthday or did I get a book.
Hey I got a book
but so funny – the book is about the psychology of internet addiction. I think he’s trying to tell me something!!!!!
this one is called only shine
I only shine
with you
you see
the reflection of yourself
mirrored between the two
>glad the school got the thumbs up! i have a friend whose daughter has to be the only person to be excluded from a steiner school. she (the daughter) is one of owen’s friends from babyhood and is a real character. maybe she got excluded because of watching telly…
seriously – sounds really positive. they are great schools from what people say.
>I’ve read of some successes and some failures with this kind of education for kids with autism – so not sure if it will work. we’ll give it a go. haven’t heard back yet!
