I taught a boy in y5. He was very troubled, challenging behaviour, difficult home life, not many friends and a lot of staff found him very difficult to click with. I really enjoyed teaching him - once I figured him out 😖 - and he started to really settle by the end of the year. Much happier in general. He's now in year 7.
He has Jamaican heritage but really lacking in any significant successful black men and women in his life. I just listened to a podcast with an author I'd know he like. This author is a black American man and the podcast is 4 black Cambridge graduates.
Would it be inappropriate to:
A. Write to him at his new school with the name of the author.
B. Send him a copy of the book.
C. Include my email address as I'd love to hear how he's getting on.
I've been told different things by colleagues and friends.
Thanks!
