Stage IV apparently used to have a couple of more confident personalities who encouraged the whole group. For one reason or another they have all gone and it seems to have rather pulled all the stuffing out of the teddy-bear. I have seen that happen before with a cohort of IT students at Leicester Poly, or was it De Montfort? ;) They are also in an odd position where the results of their exams from last term have not come back from the university yet (I've mentioned before that they have problems of their own at the university and we are at the bottom of the food chain, certainly the bottom of the exam chain). So they are under some stress. <br /> <br /> Part of it might have been my own bad mood. Maybe I should have had more sugar in my (Ugi) porridge for breakfast. Hi Sis,
