And and I I and I still see one of them around who I know didn't do their leaving cert and I see it and and I and I hope life is good. voice-verified

I hope life is happy and and all of that. voice-verified

But I see it and there was another uh a a a child who who I I saw on the parents voice-verified

brought him to to see me and he was having significant school refusal. voice-verified

And voice-verified

It was really clear to me from talking to them that the family dynamic voice-verified

was playing into this as well, that they were um hypercritical, shall we say, and stuff like that. voice-verified

I would also suggest in my head that maybe the school that they had chosen for him was a poor fit. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

Because of the ethos of the school and the other side of the system, and the personality of the child. voice-verified

But you're exactly right. voice-verified

If schools could do something like that because if they knew and they surely at this point do know that not every kid does well in the voice-verified

in the loose bits where they don't if they don't have a a best pal or even a pal voice-verified
