School...
Two kinds of 'not a good day' -- mine and his.
Mine: I wasn't up to going at all.
His: he sits and tries to work, and erases because it isn't absolutely perfect. Teacher threatened to remove the erasers from all his pencils; I asked him to try and pretend his eraser wasn't there tomorrow, and ask himself, "Was that a little mistake or a BIG MISTAKE?" and if it's a little one, move on, and only if it's a HUGE GIGANTIC MISTAKE erase. I also asked him if any letters were hard for him to write.
Evidently the "hair" letters were hard to write. So when we got home, he practiced writing some letters. He worked on writing the word "rig", actually. I stressed how all the letters are at least supposed to come up to the middle dotted line...
We'll see.
