The boy who didn't want to be in his class.. LOL!
The Thai school year hasn't started yet but in the school where we are planning to send our li'l boy, they have trial classes for 2 weeks to prepare them for the actual classes in May.
We were supposed to send Lyle to school on Monday ( the official first day of trial classes) but due to his sleeping problems, he only slept at 2 am. So, we thought of letting him sleep in the morning. Then on that same day, in the late afternoon, lyle had a minor accident which led us to decided again to let him be absent on Tuesday.
And finally, today we woke him up early. He was a bit reluctant to wake up and go to 'school' but after some talks and persuasion he finally agreed.
When we arrived in his school, their classes already started. From outside the classroom, I could already hear 2-3 children crying loudly in a chorus. Hmm.. not a very good welcoming sight for our li'l boy huh. Since it was the first day of school and classes only lasts for 3 hours, I thought of waiting for him outside. The teacher was telling me that it was okay for me to go back home and only come back at 11am. But I was not so sure how our boy would feel about it when I already told him that I'll be waiting for him outside . And not even a few seconds of going inside the room, our boy immediately ran to the playground!
The teacher was telling me again, that it's always like that once they see their Moms. But anyways, I told the teacher that tomorrow I'll try to just leave him behind. But I have to prepare him for scenario that first. So, Lyle was happily playing outside in the playground while some of the kids are still wailing inside the classroom. I took a peek inside the room to see what the other kids are doing. But they were just sitting there too!
Anyways, after an hour, I decided to bring Lyle home since there's no hope for him going back inside the classroom.
Now, I'm not so sure anymore, whether I'll send him to pre school. The only major reason we're sending him there is so that I can homeschool Tricia in the afternoons. He's only 2 and a half years old, so it's not really compulsory for him to learn and be in school. But anyways, we will try to send him again for a few days and see whether he will be able to adjust better. If not, then we will have to find someone to babysit him for about 3 hours while I homeschool my girl.
