I just had to share this...

loulabell

My 10 yr old sons teacher phoned me today (not unusal as she phones every day nearly)

She informed me that they are doing their SATS next week. Jake is off school on the tuesday as he has an appointment with the OT. She said it would be best if he was off all week as it will be an 'unsettling' week for him.

Now i can understand that the change in the routine at school will be difficult and i can also understand that jake does kick off when it comes to writing without help but isnt this something he needs to do??

BUT really...he should stay off all week when it was only a month ago they were having a go at me for his attendance!!

IT MAKES ME LAUGH!! Laughing SO MUCH FOR HIS EDUCATION!! 

Schools choice...Jake goes to school and has an unsettling week but with help he can complete his SATS or just give him the week off so they dont have the added stress of trying to DEAL with him!! ERMM lets go for the latter!! DISGUSTING!!!

  • Hiya Hun, 

    Unfortunatly he hasnt got a statment yet so he is not 'entitled' to extra 1-1. He gets 1-1 on a thursday morning. Thats it.

    The school have even said that on a thursday he is happier, more settled and is more willing to do his writing when the help is there. my response was...doesnt that tell you something!!

    We tried to get him statmented a year ago...at the time the budget cuts and such like the education board were not handing them out to often and very rarely for kids with ADHD. I was told that beacuse he wasnt really a distraction or violent he wasnt entitled to one. 

    More annoying is if they had taken the time to look at all the reports, his work (or lack of it) they would see that there is a problem. I go in all the time to check on his progress and the teacher shows me Jakes books...its page after page of dates, all he manages to do is the date at the top. Maths is no problem he loves maths, but he also has a helper in when they do maths. Its literacy he has no evidence of.

    Jake actually doing his SATS is not a problem to me if he doenst do them, i know they would really unsettle him. I just HATE the fact that they dont even want him in the school. He is not a distraction, he sits quietly on a computer for hours!!

    Thank you for listening to my rant :D
