Okay but why did Millie change so quickly like.. “ if you ever feel like that just speak to me” GURLL you’re the reason she feels that way

@hannahcollardgray4448 1 year ago

Oh my god when Amy said ‘I’m just a mixture of stuff put together incorrectly’, I was gone. So sad for a 12/13 year old girl to think that.

Feel sorry for Amy. You can see she lacks confidence and is surrounded by fake friends who want to hang out when it pleases them.

Starting to sing with both girls in the room is genuinely AMAZING teaching that will go almost completely unnoticed... he's brought both girls together and they've started to talk things out but they were reaching the point of being awkward... now he's completely diffused the tension and given them both something to bond over immediately together!!

All they are going to talk about together now isn't how they were brought into have a serious talk, it's "remember that time he just started singing in his office?" outstanding work from someone who's clearly brilliant at his job

Mr Wilson has a patience of a saint. He really listens to the pupils whenever they open up to him about their troubles ❤

Aw poor Amy, so kind hearted.

@chrishill7785 1 year ago

Riley’s mum acting like she has no control of his diet is bizarre. It’s literally your job as a parent

Crazy how mr burton was a brand new teacher to this school 10 years later hes the head teacher. AMAZING.

@ursulahorsley6416 1 year ago

its so interesting to see them taking students diets seriously bc it honestly is such an impacting thing on their mental performance and stamina and ability to focus so much more than previously imagined.

Amy literally seems like the nicest person ever I’m not even joking like her talking down on her self and then her crying cause of Millie genuinely made get the bump in my throat (like when ur trying not to cry) and I definitely relate with the like Friends situation and stuff. And Amy if u do see this - there is so much to like about u , ur funny -caring -pretty I could go on and on and on! x ⭐️

As a student from the school - and Mr Burton is a legend and the best headmaster and it's a pleasure to show our school - Please don't write any negative comments towards any student involved even if we are trouble makers. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the series.

Also Mr Burton, a Diagnosis is not just a piece of paper it is the start of a process that will lead to those tips on managing the brain's needs whilst also carrying out the daily required tasks to do it with his brain not struggle against it.
