internship of chaos

i'm not going to tell about the whole week cause that would just take to long, nor am i going to (at this point in time) tell you every day about everything that happens i don't have time for both that and school to get done. i will tell whenever anything happens or i have time.
ok so interning at the collingham school/hospital. i am working in the red group at the moment it is the youngest group there are about 4 boys in the class they have not all been there at the same time though so its normally been about three of them. they are a good group for the most part there are times when we have blowups and such but these kids are special needs so that is to be expected. i really don't know what to make of them yet it is just so different than what i'm used to. like the children get up and go sit somewhere else and the teacher doesn't say something to them imediatly, they seem to use a different format for getting them to do what is wanted of them by one of the adults asking a question that gets at what the child is supposed to do like, if i wanted blank what would i have to do to get it? or i'm confused now what am i supposed to do about blank? there is a ton more i just don't know what exactly to say about it as soon as i can wrap my head around it ill get back to you.
there is one thing i would like to change though, there are a lot of adults and the kids don't trust me yet so i'm not able to work with them they won't accept me like at all. plus when there are more helpers than students it leaves normally the newest person useless and that person is me. if this keeps up i might ask to go somewhere else even if i have to change out of the school system i'm in now, really i just want to be of some use and not just sit there and watch the child do their work. i need to be needed! we shall see how it keeps on going come monday so until then
from london with love
