school who neither says nor does anything that is told him. He simply
pouts and screams and obstinately refuses to do as he is told. This
I believe to be nothing but temper. This afternoon he was at the
same game so I fetched him into my room to say the alphabet after
his sister, as he would not say it for the teacher. After standing
for an hour (3.20 to 4.20) without speaking a word, the door was
suddenly opened by the mother, who called him out of school and took
him away without either first knocking or asking to speak to me.
