Down Bad | Ep 106 | Material Girl Podcast

thank you bye bye no yous are gonna hear that because i'm no editing all this sorry that's my son he

stubbed his toe he stubbed his toe and it's really sore and he was quite teary at school he's not having a good time at school he's just started high school and he just hates it but I went in and had a meeting this morning with school and this guy's teacher and this other woman they were so lovely and they were like we just love him we want to make it alright for him so they're going to put all these cool things in place for him which should hopefully make everything a bit better what kind of things are you allowed to talk about it so you can have like a soft start in the morning so he's he's autistic so it's like he can go in and instead of going straight into class he can go to the hub it's called and have like a soft start where he meets with him and he can just kind of settle in for the first kind of 15 minutes and then he can decide whether he wants to go to class or do his work for that class in the hub oh no just like him maybe like another one or two wins and are also struggling

i

right it's just like a quiet kind of space like

a teacher there just all the time and there's like three members of staff there and a police

there's like two members of staff and a police officer i think fuck's sake

why

a police just every school's got a campus officer now and never knew that aye well we've got one at Lourdes did they have that when we were young no when I was at school

but it's quite

common in case you get assaulted or something well I'd be surprised at how we've got two actually at Lourdes aye just in case something kicks off aye sometimes you get other people we've had some quite horrible violent incidents and stuff like that um i think it just fosters like good kind of i think it's to also build their relationship with the police as well so that they don't fear the police and like they know what the police are there for and all that sort of stuff

do they know

what the police are there for um

to protect private property at all costs

the police officer at his school it's pure cute it's called pc jazz and he's just like a cute wee guy don't fucking

talk to me about cute police officers please no he was like

he was so cute as well anyway as cute as a police officer can get

no he would never have handcuffed you but

they're all the fucking same anyway So that, and then, just like, there's this wee club, this wee, like, LGBTQ club that you can go to at lunch and stuff, like they were saying.

And he's got, like, a five-minute out-of-class early pass, so he can, like...

He avoids all the

chaos.

Yes, he avoids all that chaos.

Would that upset him? Like whenever he's been wagging and all that? It's just so stressful.

So hopefully he's been using that and that has been helping

a bit, but I think just...
