I struggled to put one foot in front of the other this morning.
It's been a while since I felt this low, but i'm really not sure what to do for the best. My sons battle with his FE College and their lack of provision has been the straw to break the donkeys back really.
I have a meeting shortly, but cannot find it in myself to fight. The LEA have asked me to lodge the complaint as they say it would have more weight coming from a parent, but frankly i'm exhausted just getting through an average day with my boys at the moment.
A formal complaint would probably only help those who suffer similar prejudice at the College rather than help my own son, who seems set on leaving now, but still I know it's right to complain about such blatant disregard for the Equality act. Yet every ounce of me is filled with dread and frankly foreboding. When I look at the culture within the College and realize how endemic the prejudice is, I have to ask, Is it really worth fighting for?
It's my son and I should stand up for his rights. Lord knows he cannot do it himself, but my mind body and soul can barely muster the strength.
Years ago i would have gone in all guns blazing. Today, I stand worn down and worn out, disappointed with myself and angry at the injustice of it all. It's all just too much
