Hanging on the Telephone
Hello blog, good to be back!
First day back, new staff room all complete, new office looking pretty damn’ smart, gates painted, fence in place, things are looking good!
And then the children arrive and it all goes pear-shaped.
Imagine my face when a child appears at the office in need of 16 hours 1:1 support, unnanounced, with parents expecting the child to start! Sorry, think again. But it did start the day at the top of the slide, and I spent the day spiralling down, looking forward to hitting the floor sometime around 5.
Which happened.
Several times.
Today was not a day to remember. All my plans of visiting every classroom, spending quality time reminding myself of every child’s name up in smoke, the day spent on the phone trying to find out more about support, needs and arrangements to put in place for the child in question. Eventually sort all this out by mid afternoon. All I need now is a body to fill the role. You doing anything right now?
