Excerpts from Keir’s Home School Planner, first week back after the Christmas holidays
Mon pm
Hi Ekta (Keir's teacher), Keir has brought home Kallyanni’s tracksuit top instead of his tracksuit trousers. Please ensure she gets it back. Thanks.
Tues pm
Ekta, Keir has misplaced his tracksuit trousers. They have his name on the size label. Could you please “help” him look for them?
Wed am
He also left his red uniform fleece at school. Sorry, I’m sending him in with a blue one instead. All his clothes have his name in them.
Thur am
Keir is wearing non uniform tracksuit trousers today as his school ones are still at school.
Thur pm
Dear Ekta,
Keir forgot his workbook so he was unable to do his maths homework this evening. He did Maths Whizz on the computer instead. I am sorry he forgot his textbook, but he did remember to bring home his tracksuit trousers, the red and blue fleeces, one of the three school hats missing since summer and all the clothes he wore this morning, so at least we are making some progress.

For those wondering how we managed to get such a turnaround, a new house rule was made on Wednesday afternoon. Any day Keir didn't bring his stuff home from school, he wasn't going to be able to play on the Wii or the computer. Now we know what it takes to concentrate his mind. And yes, he did play on Thursday...

Interesting what can be achieved, with just a little incentive.
Well, it's nice (or not) to see that some things never change - how I long (or not) for the days of saying "Do you have your homework? Your lunchbox? Your water bottle? Your reading book? Your hat? Your jumper?" as he came out of the classroom door - and virtually always went straight back in to obtain whichever one(s) didn't come out in the first place!
