Why?

Small Boy has not had a good report this year.

No, that's not accurate.

He's had an excellent report for maths, reading, speaking and listening, and a standard report for all other areas of the curriculum.

Apart from writing.

Writing took up almost all of the literacy comment and the general comment. Mainly about how he doesn't write at all.

So, here's my chance. It's the end of the year I teach, the year I know extremely well. Particularly in literacy, which I plan. I've always fancied home schooling, so now's my summer to try. We're at home for most of it, and the week we're away we'll find a reason for writing.
