I have written a note in Kesia's homework diary but I'm not sure that you will see it. The comprehension homework clearly worried and confused Kesi, but she became very non compliant when it came to do it.
She wrote the title and her name reluctantly, but was unable to answer the first question as the answer was not clearly written in the text. Although she eventually thought of a couple of answers, she declared herself unable to make a sentence and started throwing the pen across the room. This happened three times.
As only 15 minutes had elapsed I tried again to sit her down, calm her and help her think through the question, moving on to the second.
She quickly became angry and frustrated again, and went to leave the room. I asked her to stay as I was only asking her to make an effort for 30 minutes. At this point she came to her paper, tore it in half and hit me.
As much as I am willing to help her, and understand the importance of perservering with 30 minutes of homework, I will not tolerate physical aggression. I sent her to her room, and would like to leave any further action regarding this piece of work in her hand and yours.
Thank you for your understanding,
Kesi is now in her room sobbing.
