Joshua Griffin's teacher

We passed a good moment with Joshua's teacher today. The goal was to explain that he has a motor-coordination problem, but she'd worked that out already.

She was great. She said that she was going to get a peripatetic teacher who comes to help kids learn French. She said that in her class of 23 kids there are two others with similar problems to Josh's. Ideally he would see a speech therapist and a psychomotricien, but that needs to be done through the doctor and the psychomotricien is not reimbursed, so few kids get that help.

So Ben and Liz will need to weigh up whether to pursue the speech therapy now or to wait. Josh's difficulties are compounded by the fact that initially you do not even hear the sounds of French that you have to make, so it may be wise to wait for a while before getting speech therapy going in France!

Josh's teacher was simply concerned that he work at his handwriting and that he does as best he can. She doesn't want him to get a thing, a blockage about it, and she feels that he is coping fine and communicating in class, whether by word or gesture.

Hi Alan, sorry for inadvertantly exposing you to questionable blogs. When I've played the game before (by myself!) I came across weird but mostly ok blogs so I tend to think of the bloggosphere as a happy place where everyone talks about nice things - maybe that'll change when I try to play myself. My next game attempt involves wikipedia and will hopefully be less risky and also more fun!!!

As for Darth Talon I remember having a conversation (online) with the artist who draws her. She was shocked to hear comic book fans querying a scantily clad character, but explained that from her point of view it was more like ancient tribes who wore very little to allow freedom of movement in battle etc. Talon is still basically a postergirl for the series, though she is quite a good character too. I tried to get a head shot picture, but couldn't find a decent one so I went with her original picture.

Anyway thanks for commenting, speak to you soon

And anyway, it may be hot on her planet !
Ryloth is notably hot, so hot in fact that the natives (her species) can only live in a very select area or they'll die. Still - she doesn't seem to pack for travelling abroad. Maybe Sith don't feel the cold

Probably from the valleys. Valleys siths are very tough.
