「ゴガク魔女」を目指して　～４児のママの懲りない実験～

（Later I will add equivalents in other languages)
(1-Japanese)24日は智佳子を連れて、４月に転籍入学する新設の
特別支援学校の制服（標準服）の採寸のため同校まで行ってきました。

(特別支援学校、特に肢体不自由の学校に制服があるのは非常に珍しいと
思いますが、２年前に開校した同校の軽度知的障害の生徒対象の高等部に
制服があることに合わせたものと思われます。なお制服の選択・着用は自由で、
パーツ買いもできます。）

(1-English)On Saturday I took my first daughter Chikako to the special school
for physically handicapped students to which she will move as it opens
this April. She got her size measured for the school uniform.
I assume few special schools, especially those for physically handicapped
students have school uniforms and guess that this school decided to provide
uniforms in conformity with the high school division for students with
less serious mental disabilities, which opend two years ago and has
mandatory school uniform.

Meanwhile the school's physically handicapped division leaves students
or guardians to purchase or wear the uniform at their option. We can
purchase the uniform items separately as well.


(2-Japanese)学校はうちからだと新宿でＪＲから京王線に乗り換えて
明大前から行くのが一番近いのですが途中で明治大学和泉校舎の北側の階段を
通らなくてはならないので、智佳子を連れている場合は
明大前より停車本数がずっと少ない下高井戸駅を使うことになります。
初めて家から学校に本人を連れて行ってみると、数々のバリアに阻まれる
難行でした。

(2-English)The shortest route from home to the school is that we
change trains at Shinjuku station, from a JR line to Keio line,
and get off at Meidaimae (a station "in front of Meiji University"
Izumi Campus.) However, I have to use stairs at the north side of
a building inside the campus. We should use the Shimo Takaido station,
just next to Meidaimae yet has much less frequency of train arrivals
than that of Meidaimae, when I accompany Chikako.

And on that day I underwent a sort of hardships facing many physical
barriers as I took her to the school for the first time from home.
