The week started with a bit of challenge, that by Tueday it was no suprise when Del’s teacher sent an email advising that he has been a challenge together with Jaden Nyamusoro in lately in class.Their main crime, running and chasing each other a lot to the extent of doing it in class, no longer respecting the boundaries as she put it.As with any parent, the next morning of the email, I had to go see the teacher and hear it from the horses mouth.Ms Brodie was not amused by the antics the two small boys had done the previous day early in the morning.The boys decided to play “chase” in the classroom after having been initially warned not to do it.So the discussion with the teacher touched on Del not paying attention in class nor participating, though she acknowledged that his math and reading was excellent.He needed to do more with his writting as half the time he just writes enough and not as much as she would expect at his grade level.
So after the catch up with the teacher and her personal feedback, we decided it was not really warranted to take Del completely out of the soccer club but just simply to suspend him for one training session and one game. And no game it was for this weekend.
I kept on te-iterating to him to ensure he understood that it was for the repercusssions of his actions, and he therefore needed to improve hos behaviout at school if he was keen on enjoying playong soccer.
