What can I do...

One of my ex students prompt me on MSN yesterday. "Cher....I'm sorry". I asked why. "I've been kicked out of school", she said. It's at times like this that I feel disappointed. She's had problems with school...for sure. Even when I was her form teacher, she had to serve suspension after school (for self mutilation). I guess I'll never understand the reasons for self mutilating. Media resources like magazines doesn't help....it only seems to encourage self mutilation.

I feel sad and disappointed. According to her, the school allows her to take her N levels, however, she's not allowed to come to school anymore. Frankly, I totally disagree with the school. Yes I'm in no position to say anything....after all...who am I to say or go against the school. I agree that she's been given many chances but is the school helping her by doing this? Surely there are other things that can be done.
If only I was posted back there...I would have spoken up for her. She deserves a second chance. Everyone does.........

Puzzled,
