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!!!

  • Hi - first of all, I think the school are letting you and your son down!

    As for the farce that is SATs - schools can choose not to put a child though the SATs exams - these are usually the children that are not expected to pass ie: those with a learning difficulty, dyslexia etc. This is because the low marks will bring down the schools average mark and make the school look bad in the league tables!

    If this is the case, the school should make alternative arrangements for your son IN school during the week of the exams. Is he the only child not sitting them? If he is happy to be on the computer then what is the harm of letting him do that within school. What a cop out - and what about his reaction to the disruption of not being in school as he expects to be?

    Lots of luck in getting a result in your favour. x
