Went to school today to pick up my son. He wanted to stay and finish PE, so I agree and accompanied him to the gym. After their warmups, the teacher had the children put beanbags on their heads and walk around the gym, staying inside the outer line bordering the court.

Something interesting happened...

My son was the only one going in a clockwise direction. All the other kids went counter-clockwise. Somehow it reminded me of that scene from The Midnight Express , when the dude stops walking around the pillar with everyone else and goes in the opposite, clockwise direction. My son also walked the outer line (for the most part) while the other kids orbited the center of the court.

I'm trying to figure what this says about him.

Wierd

So, does your family watch much auto racing (NASCAR, IRL) on tv, or is he unfamiliar with the constant left turns? He probably did a better job of following directions, (staying by the outer lines) but didn't get directions about L or R

Taht is weird....

Seems he leans a bit to the right.

I believe that your kid may be feeling seperated from the other kids or wishes to stay alone, maybe he doesn't like the other kids and wants to stay way, this kind of stuff is usually phsycological has to do with how the kid is feeling, how people treat him, things like this so I would say either 1. Wishes to be seperatted from others for any reason. 2. Other kids do not include him in activities causing him to have to be alone. 3. Gets bullied and wishes to stay away from them in fear. As for going backwards, mostly same thing, also the kid might want to stand out for any reason, possibly your kid doesnt want to be like others, so in any case this could mean a good or bad thing or just kid feels like doing this, good in a way that kid wants to follow own path and not have a boring life as most do , bad as in bullied or excluded, and why the heck am I answering you questoin like this when nobody else, lol you guys just have no clue what is going on not even a guess do you. Oh well this is what I think anyway.

After reading my post if you read the whole thing how old do you guys think I am? If you actually know for sure how old I am dont say I just want to see how old other people think I am, I could be 2 lol I could be 102 you guess.

I think he want to be different. That is how I want to be in school. I dont wana do what ever kid does the normal thing.

Vicious, you may be right. My son does prefer to stay home just because its so much better than being at school. We've try to create a nice home environment and I guess we've done a very good job. Now there was a bully on the school bus, but we had our son reassigned to another seat. He seems to have enough friends in his class and he likes his teacher, but he has had some trouble with some of his academics lately though he's been improving. I do think he's a bit independent as well and probably just enjoyed following the line. He seemed to be pretty happy while I was there, it just seemed like a curious thing.

BTW, I think you're 12. ;)

Maybe he simply wants to be different.

He will always be a leader not a follower....He wants to do things his way not others
He will not be gouded into others way of thinking he will have his own rules he will
be great at anythng that involves leadership...

Oh come on 12 geeze I am 14 lol

Lol I think he want just to be diff and show his diff from the other kids!

I blame his upbringing

The apple doesnt fall far from the tree :)

Lol

I think that it shows thta ur son is different from the other students indeed....it shows that he wants to do things his own way or that he has leadership skills and wants to do his own thing..no offense..but it seems tat a lot of people have negative things to say about it...........sometimes kids do things just to be different........that or it might show that ur son is somewhat feeling like hes an outsider or feels he has no true friends
