Hi! Thanks for the update on Cecilia’s school progress. Sorry I missed the conference. It was a hectic day, and somehow I either didn’t receive or else (more likely) lost the confirmation of what time I was supposed to come in. Anyway, I was pretty concerned about Cecilia’s little accident today. Obviously I’m not sure what the entire situation was, because all I have is her take on it. She described to me a situation in which she had to go really bad, but was afraid to interrupt you to ask, because you were “working with some people” as she put it, and the kids had been instructed to wait instead of interrupt. I tried to help her get some perspective on what constitutes an emergency, and what would be a legitimate reason (such as genuinely being about to pee your pants) for breaking a rule like that. The whole thing just seems really odd to me; she NEVER has accidents like that at home. Maybe she took the non-interrupting rule too literally? Does she seem at all intimidated or afraid to speak up in general at school? I don’t want to make too big a deal out of it, but at the same time I don’t want to overlook any signs or signals that could help us understand Cecilia’s experience of her daily learning environment. Maybe a clarification of the rules about interrupting vs emergencies would be in order? If you have any other big pieces of this little story that I’m totally missing, maybe you could fill me in. Thanks so much! Mat Schulte
