My tutoring takes place in
a community centre, and the community it is in the centre of is a challenging
(or challenged) one, as illustrated this morning when just outside my tutorial
room (aka a cupboard) there was a commotion with a man demanding the primary
school give him his kids (now!) to take away as they had allegedly suffered
some sort of violence or intimidation; meanwhile in the adjacent meeting room
an old chap was complaining about many things including abusive girls and
knife-wielding boys, but why he was telling this to the man from the credit
union is a bit of a mystery – perhaps he wanted a loan to buy a shotgun or was
coming up with an excuse for his arrears.
