A levels and concentration

Have you considered flexi schooling for her?  We have been doing this for a number of years.  My son finds it easier and less stressful to work some of the time from home with email contact with tutors and then only going in when he feels he needs to.  The tutors are very supportive as they know that he is getting the work done.  He also has a statement and receives extra time in exams and can take breaks if he starts to feel overwhelmed.  He is also allowed to take exams in a quiet area away from distractions. 

hi hotel california,

can i just askhow did you go about getting flexy teaching? My daughter is doing A levels and an Aspie but is having a hell of a time with sensory issues and the slow pace of learning.

i am trying to get my daughter to do flexy but the 6th form head is having none of it, even threatened to kick her out if the next term drops below 86%.

they have agreed to all manor while in years 1-5 but come 6th form its like she has gone to a new school who know nothing of her. They seem hell bent on attendance, she has had 2 months off after surgery on both wrists and come back and done an assesment straight away and come out top of the class. She wants to do further maths but they wont even tho on her own she has completed the workload that the class are teaching.

if you could give me any pointers as to how i could play my case and to who, it would be really be helpful.

thanks in advance.
