CASE STUDY #3 - P2 girl

CASE STUDY #6 - P4 boy

a boy who has been 'notorious' since 2 yrs ago when i was @ ZPS. notorious for not doing homework, bad behaviour. however, i feel that he has tamed down a lot already.. willing to do homework.. but donnoe y his books will always go MIA one.. his mum came to the sch last fri.. spoke to me abt his missing books. asked him to see me aftr class and i spoke to him.. realised his parents divorced, staying wif an 'uncle' who is working in the army. the mum is a beer promoter. again, no one to turn to for help academically. another shocking discovery: his right eyebrows were trimmed off while he was sleeping (accd to him).. not sure if it was his drunkard 'uncle' or mother.. and i really wanna find out... haiz...
