Well I for one am very impressed with Esme’s crocheting. Not only does she come up with her own ideas and patterns but she is so talented that the ideas she comes up with are identical to the ones you can find online. What are the odds of that?
Disgusting to have your child lie this way. But worse, they’ve really missed a trick here. They’re so desperate to prove how great the girls are doing with homeschool yet can’t show their work because they’re most likely years behind. Could have easily used crocheting as a way to show off Esme’s learning. How she learns, watching videos to learn the techniques, practicing etc. Would have been a great thing to show off.
But I guess the ‘Esme is just a creative genius who knows more than people who’ve been crocheting for years’ is…also an angle.
But I won’t say Esme is learning nothing from teacher Sarah. She’s now got Esme saying ‘moderated’ instead of ‘modified’
As for Isabelle’s anxiety. Bullshit that it has anything to do with the pandemic. Mother of the year would want to remember it started long before any lockdown.
I remember Izzy coming back from her first day of secondary school absolutely buzzing. She made this friend, she was going to join one of the sports. A really social butterfly of a child, thriving. Fast forward two years and she was saying how scared she was to walk into school if she didn’t have her friend, singular, with her,
What was the difference in those two days? Her dirty stepfather being outed. The girl was probably ripped to pieces in school and stared at, laughed at everywhere she went.
But no doubt Sarah will claim after one solo trip on the train, Izzy is so much more confident
