Hello all!
Sorry I haven't been writing, I've been reading books for days.
And as my title says, I've just read my 100th book!
Thanks everyone for the nice things you said on Mum's blog about me reading 100 books.

My most favourite books were the Artimis Fowl books, my Footrot Flats books, and my Garfield books.

Oh, there was a joke in my " Garfield, jokes riddles, and other silly stuff" and one of them was:
Q. What do you call a fly without wings?
A. It's nothing, 'coz it can't fly, so it's nothing! HA, HA, HO, HAA, HA, HA, HEE, HA, HA.
I loved the book so much, I'm going to put them in a blog post tomorrow.

I had fun reading all those books, and I loved it so much, I'd do it again and again, in fact, I'm doing it next year.

See ya tomorrow mates.

It's me again, and I'm going to tell you one of the reasons why I'm home schooled.

It all started when I was 2years of age, when I was said to have autism and Tourette's. I didn't know how to speak, when other baby's of my age were starting to speak. Then it all welled up when I turned 5 years old at the beginning of school when I thought every one there was my friend, then when I came home I had bottled up my stress because I had been in a different place for the first time, and there was a big crowd and as each day went by it got worse and worse because that same crowd got bigger and bigger until I stayed down in prep, where I was learning the same stuff, but the Teachers were saying that this and that was not true even though I had learned stuff from National Geographic and Discovery and History channels.

Now, when I went into grade 2 things started going down hill from there coz the teachers kept on saying that most of the time the things I talked about was just rubbish, but I know that you're not like that Mr V.

Now, when I was in grade 4 last year I stated home schooling because I could not cope in normal school even though I had an intergration aide but she was always away helping the other kids and I was not allowed to ask questions and I was put on a table all by my self in a corner which they called socialising, and they did not tell my Mum and Dad and I was punished for not getting the questions at all and not finishing the work I didn't understand.
And I was coming home all angry and tense and frustrated because I had bottled it up at school and no one was listening to me except Mum and Dad. Most of the time I smashed up the house and hit my Dad a lot because I was so angry at being teased by other kids and not heard by the teachers. My Tourette's makes me make strange noises when I'm really,really,really stressed and nervous and my noises (that are called vocal tics) were getting worse. I do other strange things but my doctor gave me medication to help me relax which worked a little bit.

So thats why I'm home schooled, plus I get to do fun things like the World Maths Day and reading challenge. And it's much quieter and calmer and I feel happier inside.

I've competed against other people all over the world in practice matches for World Maths Day, that is tomorrow, and its great fun.
And I'm up to 60 books on my completed reading list for the Victorian Premiers Reading Challenge and that is great fun too!
