Cassie (2008)
“Holly couldn’t avoid travelling to and from school with her. Fern gave them both a lift. But she was relieved when Cassie’s ISA met her at the car and wheeled her off to the Special Needs staffroom. After that she didn’t see much of her during the day, apart from English lessons. Even then, Cassie and her support worker shared a desk at the back of the class, so there was no pressure to socialise. Holly sat at the front. Other than that, it was a matter of quick glimpses during recess and lunch....
It wasn’t hard to avoid a wheelchair.
On Friday lunchtime, when the bell signalling the end of morning lessons rang, Holly hurried to the main girls’ toilet block. It was double maths in the afternoon, a class she rarely enjoyed. Mr Tillyard knew his stuff all right. Sometimes she wondered how his head managed to keep his brain crammed in. The trouble was, he didn’t understand that not all his students were similarly well-equipped. If you didn’t understand a formula, he simply explained it in exactly the same way you hadn’t understood in the first place.MoreLess
