and Mr. Brocklehurst explained that this would not be possible, and indeed was not permitted.
Miss Scatcherd had sought a school report from Eleanor’s head teacher in advance of the meeting,
and it was noted that Eleanor was performing well, achieving excellent grades in all subjects.
The head teacher commented that Eleanor was an exceptionally bright and articulate child, with an impressive vocabulary.
Her class teachers had reported that she was quiet and well behaved during lessons,
but did not participate in discussions, although she was an active listener.
Several members of the staff had noticed that Eleanor was very withdrawn and isolated during break times,
and did not appear to socialize with her peers. After lengthy discussion,
and in light of the concerns raised and reemphasized by Mr. and Mrs. Reed about the impact of Eleanor’s behavior on their other children,
it was agreed that the most appropriate course of action would be to remove Eleanor from the family home.
Mr. and Mrs. Reed were content with this outcome, and Mr. Brocklehurst informed them
that the department would be in touch in due course regarding next steps.
