New term thoughts



 It's a new term although I don't so much go up a class but more along it exploring and learning different things because I don't get any more mature so much as by virtue of endlessly going around the same cycle I increasingly perfect that state without moving on.

It's like you've had xx years of being ten knowing what you need to pretty well without getting to be eleven never mind twelve and subconsciously you feel the pull to go back to school except of course as all that stuff is governed by bone age stuff you can't trot off to the school playground.

In this country even you cannot return to school as in your neighbourhood school to do any remedial learning in the way in many third world countries you do cos of stranger danger safeguarding concerns.

It certainly isn't that those don't matter, they do, but there's no evidence to show it really poses a risk if it's done right and as "dbs checked" adult volunteers do act as playground leaders helping with play in others.

It's like the default is all adults are a danger to children unless teachers or others "approved" by the system and yet the evidence shows most are more at risk from own parents or immediate family.

I honestly feel the topic ought to be opened up and evaluated for those of us who remain adult by bone age but children mentally and would accept "school rules" on conduct as part of it.
