carissa got of the bus and i was waiting to see if it looked like the first day went ok ot not .  then the tears started when she got to the car . she likes the teacher , she didn’t get with lily and she got with "aj"  a girl that i asked the princable to not put her with.  she said she could handle the class but at lunch and recess she is lost as the year 6 have there own little area that no one else is aloud .  this  girl  i did not want her with has already started  ,  calls her names and bad mouths her to the other girls in the special year  6 area.        so school looks bloody fantastic ,not,
