I was to be with Ben from 11:45 - 12:06 and then remain with him for the remainder of the day until his departure time of 2:08. He was absent as he did not wish to participate in field day.
We began discussing the Civil Rights Movement and alternative civil rights tactics, and how Title IX helped women's athletes; however Ben excused himself and spent a good portion of class time in the bathroom. Mom came at the end of the day to help pack up some things as it was the last day of school.
Ben was absent today for Field Day today, Wednesday, 5-22-24. I was to watch him from 11:45 - 12:36; (after pre-K & lunch = 51 minutes) and periods 5 and 6. (90 minutes for both. Period 5 was from 12:36 - 1:21 (45 minutes), and Period 6 was from 1:23 - 2:08 (45 minutes) - for a grand total of 141 minutes.
We began to discuss the fear of Communism prevalent in the early to mid 20th century but Ben asked if he could finish eating the lunch he had started and was permitted to do so. As he was listening to information about Iran while eating I brought up information about the Iranian president and foreign minister who died in a helicopter crash yesterday.
