Term 3

Well, term 2 is all over. Assessments all done, Jonty is doing well, and our tutor is giving amazing assistance and advice. She's a star. Like Jonty.

Now we're onto Term 3 with Maths and Science. As Thai school has started, we've had to find a new routine. Jonty gets home from school at 15h30, so I give him an hour to play and unwind, then I do about 45 minutes from 16h30 - 17h15. I manage to do an English and a Maths lesson in that time. The poor kid has supper at 17h30 then off to taekwondo at 17h50... evenings are such a rush.

even though I feel sorry for him, I also know that he enjoys it. He's enjoying the maths (especially the games) and enjoying the English - cos he's good at it. He asks for MORE! I am managing to stay much calmer and as a result we're both enjoying it more. When he concentrates and focusses, he's brilliant. When he does not, I want to toss him and all the school work out the window.

Anyway, its just a temporary set-up because next week we are going to discuss doing his HS during school hours - I'd go in and teach there during his English class. This will free up his afternoons and I am really hoping the school/teachers will be open to it. He's had almost month to settle and things are going well. I think the time has come.

That's it for now.
