“At my old school I was silly. I would run out of the classroom and I would lie and hurt people. I annoyed the kids in my class and I had to have a special teacher with me every day. I did not do my work. I chased other people and ran around the classroom. I did not come when the bell rang. I went to the out of bounds areas. I threw rocks and played in the dirt. I would bring dirt into the classroom. I snapped the chalk and poked the kids with a pin and pushed kids and kicked too. I had a meeting at Cheshire and Sue and Leonie told me I would have to behave every day or I would miss out on excursions and doing the fun things. I would have to stay at school and work. I have started to behave and I work at the farm and I do my school work. I had to make a big decision to stay or leave Cheshire because my behaviour wasn’t good. I decided to be good every day and to do my work. It’s so much better to be good than bad. I am going to keep being good for ever.”
