I Don'T Like School

One monday morning getting ready for work and drinking my last cup of tea everything seemed to be making me late but that's not unusual for me, then in walked my Son with a look on his face that was neither happy or sad sat down at the table and looked straight at me and then he sinply said, "Dad" I don't like school anymore the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore I've been going since I was four but I don't want to go anymore. Now this problem was more inportant than work It had to be sorted out now I can easily see his point of view but I have to change his mind somehow, I don't think he's saying just what he means though his idea is not really bad so I asked him if he would explain it to me but he just looked at me and said ,"Dad" I don't like school anymore the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore I've been going since I was four but I don't want to go anymore. I don't think I can make him understand that he really must go to school or he'll break the law that the government made education is the golden rule, he seemed much better when I told him that school wasn't really that bad then he got up to go,turned to me with a smile and simply said to me,"Dad" I don't like school anymore the lessons are hard and the teacher's a bore I've been going since I was four but I don't want to go anymore.
