Another School Exclusion - Frustrated!!!

realworld

My son has just had another exclusion from school due to his behaviour and this is the 2nd time he has been exluded!!He is in a mainstream school and we are waiting for the school to employ a 1:1 TA with special needs experience for him which was decided he needed this assistance after his last exclusion in July. Each time that there has been excluded a supply teacher has been in charge of the class and I question whether his IBP has been followed. I am so frustrated by these exclusion as my son doesnt understand them and they are pointless as all he sees is him getting a couple of days off school!

Has anyone else experinced their child being excluded from school for a few days for their behaviours?? Just need advice and support as feel like my parenting skills are being questions as they always ask if had a bad morning, did he eat anything different etc?? Then the guilt set in could I have done somthing to prevent these behaviours etc!!

  • I was excluded from school soooooooo many times when I was a kid and can definitely relate to your son - exclusions are pointless and don't make the slightest bit of difference. It sounds like your son's school had the same problem as mine - they completely lack understanding of Asperger's and can't be bothered to prepare for having a child with the condition in their school. I would definitely recommend registering an objection with the governors if you can. Also, if and when he gets a TA assigned to him, the school needs to make sure the TA actually understands him as an individual. All my TAs were rubbish apart from this one guy who actually respected me as an individual rather than making assumptions on me based on skim-reading an outdated textbook on autism. Without him, I would be a very different person. Do you mind me asking if your son faces any bullying at his school? If he does, the school needs to address it properly
