4 My youngest boy, David, starts school next week. He's a bit nervous about it all, and to tell you the truth, so am I. My other two never seem to worry about anything, and neither/ nor does their father. David obviously takes after me in that respect. We know, though, that he's got the same class teacher as the one Paul had two years ago, so that's good. Her name is Miss Appleby. She's a caring person and a very good teacher - at least I think so and I know most of the other parents think so/ do too. There's a two-week period of adaptation at the beginning, and it may be that David will come home at midday during this/that time. If so, I've arranged for my mum to pick him up and look after him until I finish work.
