You can tell we live in a middle-class area
It's the school mid-term break this week, which means I have a break from helping out at chess club on Monday nights and P7 football on Saturday mornings.
(For anyone reading this down south, that P7 is not a misprint. In Scotland, kids have 7 years of primary school and (up to) 6 of secondary, instead of the other way around).
Numbers were down for the last two football sessions. I only realised why when another parent told me. The private schools have been having their open days, so some families were off seeing what they have to offer.
Not that we're immune. Mrs. HtC spent some time last year investigating which high schools offered the best special needs support for aspie kids. (The answer, not surprisingly, was the state school). So the only reason we're not joining with the crowds is that we've already had a look.
