Theo doesn't like school—it's a bummer, but that's really just the flat truth. He likes some elements of it, but in general he doesn't like it, and pretty much every day he looks for ways to get out of it. First he thought he might be able to get fired from it, but when he realized that wouldn't happen, he moved on to more creative ways of handling the issue. His homework last week encouraged him to dictate to me a story about a raindrop. Here's his:
"Once there was a raindrop, and it fell from the sky. And then there was big thunder and lots of rain! And I took the roof off of the school so it would get all wet from the raindrops, and then I knocked down the school!"He's either going to end up in juvenile hall or have a career as a writer. I haven't figured out which yet.
