Today I was mostly with older kids, years 5 and 6. They wrote about their school holidays. Some kids had really shitty holidays and refused to write about it, but some kids talked to me about it instead. Some kids didn’t get anything for Easter. Some kids witnessed, or were part of, DV situations. Some kids have generational trauma. Some kids were forced to stay with relatives they don’t like/hurt them.

I just don’t understand how people can do things to their kids, partners, and ex-partners. I’d never make it through Arts’ course.

I also corrected a year 2 teacher who had written “what are galexy’s made of?”

That would be a bit disheartening. Hopefully talking about it was good for them.

Also a bit depressing that someone who writes “galexy’s” gets to be a teacher, but I suppose they can’t be too choosy.
