The first thing is I am continuing with my study which isn't by any means easy having just done a English practice exercise based on an extract from "The Sea Raiders" by H G Wells who I suspect writes above my innate comprehension level. The fact this is supposed to be set for 11 to 14 year olds may give you an insight into just how real my problems actually are and why it's progress that I'm sat at desk in uniform doing this not throwing it back at you!
I've got a whole Math unit revision to complete too based on all the work I've done so far this year before moving on Shapes which just to ensure I have a hope in heck of having gotten the foundations to get right.
The other thing is although we don't talk about as much as at one time we did when things really started coming to a head the reintroduction of traditional corporal punishment has made a very real difference to my attitudes and behaviour over the years ass I have built up a powerful connection between cause and effect, with "zolts" going i my mind as to what happens BEFORE I get into that oppositional habit so I THINK before I ACT.
The one thing we know from nine and a half years ago is it really works on me.
Ignore the critics a thoughtfully applied cane, be it in the schoolroom or home. is a good time tested incentive to learning. Especially since the weals, (stripes,) serve as a reminder of your failings for several days or even weeks, both visually and physically. I hope your mentor also gives you plenty of cornertime during which to reflect.
