Usually a couple of them would go completely bezerk because of that change. Really interesting to look at, but not very practical

So what do you teach then?
Yeah, this is basically what this kid is like. It's doing my head in. He's got a teacher's aide in the classroom but I feel like a failure because I can't get him to do anything... all he does is just walk around all spaced out and occasionally just roll around on the floor.

I teach primary school At the moment I've got Prep which is the equivalent of Grade 1 or Kindergarten in other countries.
