I was recently reading an article on the way society expects children to conform to a particular ideal, so many kids are not well served by our systems
The academic part of school suited me, I'm good at sitting still and learn easily in that setting but it was a social nightmare and being terrible at sport in a place like Australia......
Yep same here. Loved learning and did well scholastically but completely misunderstood the social side of things and hated organised sport. I was very physically active but not into team sports - competition meant somone always had to lose and that really upset me, even if it was me who won.

ReplyDeleteI agree Kylie. I was one such child and still don't cope well with it.
