Ms. H, son's homeroom teacher came for the home visit yesterday. I think we were both nervous, and one of her first questions was, "Well, are you OK with Japanese?" I reassured her that having been here for awhile, our chat would be no problem. Then we moved on to how son is adjusting, what his interests, etc. are, and parents' view of how everything is going. Lovely chat, friendly, but firm-sounding teacher so quite pleased! My goal is to keep son enthused and working hard & well this year, and keep good communication lines open with his teacher/s. Fingers also crossed that this round of junior high will continue positively!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words and sweet comment on my blog post. You are so kind!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned a similar situation, I'm sorry that it is difficult. If you ever need to talk to someone who is not directly involved in the situation, I would love to be a sounding board for you. I am great at returning emails!:-)
How long have you lived in Japan? My husbands family is from Taiwan, we LOVE it there. It is so cool that the internet can connect people from all over the world. :-)
Thanks again!

Thank you, too Jolene! I'd love to talk more with you, and will figure out that as soon as this busy rush is over.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Japan for about 19 years, and love it (most of the time :) ) Having the internet has been a big plus, and love being able to connect everywhere and meet so many interesting people in different places! It definitely makes my life richer!
