I just had to share this...

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!!!

    In other words, they can't be bothered to support him and know that SEN statements are documents which must be followed. Just because he isn't a discraction or violent, doesn't mean he doesn't need one. Some children need them because whilst they have no behaviour problems, they do need extra support with education.

    What exactly are you expected to do with your son if you keep him off school for the SATs? Not every parent is lucky enough to either have a stay at home partner or other people who can look after their child.
