8Y2M 6Y5M 3年生の発表 Year 3 assembly

3年生全員で、先日一泊で行ったレジデンシャルトリップについての発表があった。

アラタなぜか台詞なし。全員で歌う時も後ろのほうに隠れてあまりやらないし、楽しそうでもない。 （いつもの事だが覇気がない。）

それにしても、台本にはアラタの台詞があって、宿題として暗記していたはず。おかしいなあと帰宅したアラタに聞くと、「先生がアラタに台詞があるの忘れたし、みんなも台本に書いてないから忘れた。」

えーーーー！？そういえば、印刷された台本に、アラタの台詞が手書きで書き込まれていた。それを、みんなに伝えてなくて、先生も忘れた？だいたい、もともとアラタの台詞を作成段階で忘れていることが悲しい。

昨日もリハーサルがあったはずだが、アラタ、おとなしすぎて言えない。私にも言わないから、フォローしようもない。

おとなしくて目立たない子は先生が気にもかけないから、こうやって忘れられてしまう。自己主張が苦手な子はイギリス式では生き残れないのか。

日本人学校の先生に言われた、アラタは日本人学校の方が合うという言葉を思い出すと、Jasonまでも、「日本人学校に転校させて！」と怒っていた。さすがにSCIPSには抗議だ。

ここ数週間、アラタが荒れている。自分だけが怒られると泣き出したり、数日前は「アラタ、自分が嫌い」と言っていた。これは、このことと関係があったのだろうか。

彼の自信を奪ってしまうものは何なのか。ゆっくり育てましょう、暖かく見守ってあげることが大切と補習校の先生に言われたばかり。

私の不安定な精神状態がアラタに投影されていることだけが原因なのか。

Year 3 assembly about the recent residential trip to Jerkerk.


Arata didn't say anything during the performance. He didn't seem to be enjoying the singing while other kids are. (It's normal for Arata, he always looks bored.)


Anyway, I could still remember that Arata had a line as he tried to learn it by heart as homework. Being asked, he said, "The teacher forgot I had a line, and my classmates also forgot about it as it wasn't printed on the script"


Whaaaaaat? Actually his line was handwritten on the script given out. The teacher forgot to give him a line when she was creating it, and she must have realised Arata didn't have any, so that she added an extra one on 'his 'script, but forgot about that, and noone else was asked to add it to their script! The saddest truth is the teacher forgot about Arata in the first place, though.


They had a rehearsal yesterday, but Arata couldn't plug up his courage to ask the teacher why his turn was skipped. He didn't tell me either, so I didn't know until too late. In British system, quiet children can't survive? Teachers don't seem to pay much attention to those quiet.


I can remember one of the teachers from Japanese school told me that Arata must be well off in Japanese school environment. This time I seriously think we should transfer him. Even Jason was angry and quite agree with me.


Arata hasn't been mentally stable in the last couple of weeks. Suddenly he started to cry saying we told him off more often than Takara, or he said, "I don't like myself" a couple of days ago. What made his self esteem so low?? Was it linked to today's incident?


Is it my bad parenting? Or my feeling of insecurity reflects on Arata...?


We have to help Arata quickly.
