Computer banshees are acting up again. They just erased my typed post. Anyway. Son has been quiet about his new school. Past few days something has been bothering him. 1) Parents were supposed to bring autumn plants to school to be planted by the students on Wedesday, older grades to work with the younger grades. Son was not looking forward to "working with a younger grade". He wants me to give cash so his teacher can buy plants.("Maybe she can buy someone to plant the flowers also"). He's not big on the cooperative thing. 2) There is a fire drill scheduled for Wednesday. Not a good thing. the old school was not up to speed so the "alarm" was a bell. Son wants to stay home Wednesday. Doesn't want to plant and doesn't want to deal with fire drill. I've offered ear plugs, hands over ears- not sure if its the noise or the hype that bothers him. Suggestions?
