Share a cuppa?
I've just made myself a cuppa and would love a friend if anyone is around?

Re: Share a cuppa?
I really wish there were more accessible alternatives for students who are disengaged from school @ArraDreaming - as much as I wish for this, I'm not sure it will happen in Australia in my lifetime....

There is a few things but I don’t think they really do the job @tyme

Re: Share a cuppa?
and then people say well why don’t they just listen and do school like everyone else and that makes me annoyed

Arghhh I hear you @ArraDreaming - now it's the waiting game to see how your boys go.
I just want people to know that if they or their children do not complete school the way 'normal' kids do, it doesn't mean they have failed.
As I said, I wish there were alternatives for me when I was younger. I would have benefitted so much more.

Re: Share a cuppa?
A lot of my siblings are in non mainstream school, from what I know of @tyme it’s meant to be helpful
even my sister said she got to do nearly 3 days out of her mainstream school each week to work on hands on stuff, so even in regular school there are options
I was thinking about this today when I was getting frustrated over trying to work out how to operate a new tool in the garden, because I googled and all the instructions were on YouTube!
1. I don’t have the time, nor the patients to sit through your boring introduction before you tell me how to work this thing
2. they speak too quickly
3. some of us learn by visuals, PICTURES, small steps I can take on my own in my own time without someone rushing through each step, I hate having to pause, let me read how to do it
we all learn so differently, but can we stop with the YouTube tutorials

Re: Share a cuppa?
All I can say is, despite not being the 'best' student at school, you manage so well @ArraDreaming ! It's so impressive how far you have come.
The hands on stuff is so important. I don't believe I 'can't' do it - I've just never had the opportunity.
As for Youtube tutes, I HATE them too! I hate watching them. I find it frustrates me so much. I rather read instructions.... however, unfortunately, often, the written instructions are not in the best english lol....
