  1. I'm a bit young to understand your problem CB. I've only ever been to nursery. I have asked my mum to type an answer for me. Here it is:

     

    At schools that do the nurses room thing, the thinking is, keeping them in the nurse's room avoids an official diagnosis of clinical depression which could jeopardise future job prospects. I don't know how they get around the fact that the CD itself is jeopardising much more than job prospects.

     

    I don't think the mobile phone number thing quite so black and white in western schools. Western teachers I know give out their mobile numbers for school trips and the like, so parents will oftern have the numbers. I also have a few of my Australian uni lecturers mobile numbers but only use them for prearranged appointments. It's not so much an issue of having the numbers as much as using them appropriately.

     

    CB,

    I have been reading this thread with interest but don't know what to add as in how you can help her. You have done everything you can and even in Western countries that supposedly have systems in place, things happen.

    Something that hasn't been mentioned is that when you posted about the father asking about your love life alarm bells started ringing for me. I would be very careful of his motives and of potential sexual harrassment charges. I saw fabricated charges ruin a guy when I was on JET. Make sure that you are never alone in a room with this student to protect yourself.

  2. I drove to Ibaragi (2hrs from Tokyo) took the ferry from there to just outside Sapporo. Took about 24 hrs. I don't have the link to hand but I think the name was Sunflower or at least sun-something ferry. The ferries going up that side of Japan are really rough in winter. Not a good option if you get travel sick. I never get travel sick but felt bad inside this one. I spend most of the night outside in the fresh air. I felt fine once I got outside but the wind and rain were freezing so take your ski gear on deck of you plan to do that! The ferry was empty so don't bother paying for a cabin.

     

    I don't know if it is accessible by train.

  3. Wake up when I hear my mum in the kitchen.

    Shout that I am hungry and jump up and down on my bed until my mum comes.

    Do a wee on the potty.

    Help my mum to put my clothes and a new nappy on.

    Eat my breakfast and drink some milk while my mum gets ready for work.

    Sit on my mum's lap and watch TV while taking my nebulizer asthma medicine.

    Go downstairs to watch the bin men put the rubbish in the truck.

    Wave bye-bye to the bin men.

    Meet my nanna or go to school depending on the day.

    Give my mum a goodbye kiss and cuddle.

    Start my day's play.

  4. My mum has just shown me how to use the Internet. This is what I found on the the UK Marmite site:

     

    Quote:
    When German scientist, Liebig discovered that brewer's yeast cells could be concentrated, bottled and eaten, Marmite was as close to being invented as it's possible to be, without actually having being invented...

    It was in 1902 that the Marmite Food Company (later Marmite Ltd) was set up in Burton on Trent. Our mission, then as now, was to share the joy of Marmite-eating and make it available to all those with excellent taste.

    It took a while to get the machinery and manufacturing process right, but soon enough we started producing great quantities of the spread you know and love today. (Cue widespread celebration and dancing in the streets!)

    The basic production method has changed little since Marmite was first invented. Basically, the used brewer's yeast is broken down to release soluble amino acids and proteins. This soluble material is then concentrated and filtered a few times before going through a unique (and top secret) process for flavour development.

    At the end of all this, we end up with yeast extract paste - nearly Marmite but not quite. The finishing touches make all the difference. We add an extra blend of vitamins, vegetable and spice extracts to create the taste your mouth adores!

    Thanks to its high B vitamin content, Marmite did its bit for the UK in two World Wars.

    By the time of the First World War it was included in soldiers ration packs. It also became a staple food in hospitals and schools.

    During World War II, Marmite became a dietary supplement in prisoner-of-war camps, and in 1999, it was sent to British peacekeeping forces in Kosovo after we received morale boosting requests from the field.

  5. My mum has lots. Ski boots, snow boots, hiking boots, boot-season boots (2), ugg boots, trainers (2), work shoes (3), nurse sandals (2) non-nurse sandals (3), posh shoes (2). Probably a few more.

     

    I have my snow boots from Uncle Indo, my wellie boots for the rain, my normal everyday shoes for outside and my train sandals for playing on the balcony.

  6. Yes, Uncle SJF was very kind and did that for me because I can only count to 7. I was getting very tired with all that typing because my hand are too little and my chin only just reaches the keybord so it's very difficult to see too.

     

    Hello Uncle AlexMcD,

    I don't know anything about skiing either. I am only 22 months old. Last year I went sledding and to a party with lots of people from these forums. It was fun.

  7. Uncle JA, 49 is very old and now you must be older. Are you as old as my Nana? Her name is Mrs Me Tarzan in law? She is 60! My Nana is great. She takes care of me when my mum is working and I am not in school. Your mum sounds like my Grandma. She is my mum's mum and she did some very nice embroidery for me. It has lots of my favourite things on it like choo-choo's, buses and aeroplanes.

     

    Thank you Uncle Bag of Crisps. My mum says I am cute too but then sometimes she says I am naughty so I'm not really sure.

     

    Uncle Ger, I don't mind my mum being here. I like hanging out with my mum and giving her lots of cuddles. When I am a big boy I think will have to ask Uncle SJA to make a new forum where mums are not allowed though.

     

    Uncle GG, Yes it is me. My mum keeps complaining about it because everytime she wants to type something I am signed in and she has to log me out first. What is a cheeky tyke?

  8. Thank you Uncle Soubriquet. I can already count to two. I know lots of other numbers too but I get confused which order they go in. When my mum asks me how many of something I want I always say ten because that is the biggest number I know.

    I am especially confused about Nana. My Nana takes care of me when I am not in school or with my mum. On her car number plate there is a sign like this: 7. My nana said it is a nana like her but my mum says it is called seven. This is very difficult for me. Is this calculus?
