It's all down to poor commnication on the schools part...
I can't tell you how many times we've been to a parents evening to be told one of our kids hasn't been doing *something* for the last 6 months...then why wait so long to tell us?!?
School troubles are familiar to me. Sam has ADHD and had loads of problems in First School, he was then kicked out of Middle School and went to a lovely 'specialist' school for two years. He came on in leaps and bounds, but since he changed schools in September it's taking him a long time to settle down again...*sigh*
do they not realise that in communicating with the parents, that some of us might actually give a shit and help? i'm pissed off that i'm labelled as one that doesn't, considering i was manning a stall at the recent fayre, and have offered to come in and listen to the kids read and help on school trips (and have been declined)..
My friend said she was willing to help out in her son's class with things, had the polics check done and everything but they've never asked for her help which is really disheartening.
There's teachers and then there's people "doing a job". The real teachers are the ones the kids get on great with and anything that happens in class is just part of the school day. The ones doing it for a job do nothing but nitpick and crib about anything and everything, cause tension and stress that comes out in the kids behaviour/attitude. As Ali says, we've been through it all and it's a complete pain in the arse dealing with some of these people, their only concern is themselves and not the education of the kids.
indeed, especially frustrating after the meeting with the deputy head this week who defended his teacher as particularly good, and then turned all my complaints around and insisted that it was because tyler had forgotten his pe kit repeatedly... erm FUCKING RING ME ABOUT IT THEN YOU TARDS!!!
i'm SERIOUSLY fucked off at his individual education plan which labels him as having a learning ability of a year 3 kid, why the FUCK weren't we informed before when we had time to sort it out.. FFS, now with 6 months to go we have no chance *sigh*.
i have another one to go through this school yet... *sigh*

We've had this done to us too...
The teacher in question is a useless bitch, this was proven when Harley had her and was doing terribly in her class. We moved him to another school and he's great now.
The new school had a report sent to them from the old school and they say it's like they are talking about a different child...
well i spoke to the learning support manager at the school that we've applied for him to go to next september and she's more than happy to see me next week, and has asked for examples of his work and his individual education plan, she also hinted that it might be worth looking at other schools for the last 3 terms, logistically it's not possible tho :/ i'll chat it over with hubs later.
i'm particularly annoyed that his teacher cannot even be fucking bothered to look in her diary and make an appointment for next year...
I had a teacher that based HALF our grade HALF OUR FINAL GRADE on EFFORT! EFFORT!!
This teacher obviously sucks donkey balls. Your son is trying. He seems to WANT to be interested, he wants to make you proud, but there is this big nasty barrier that needs bulldozed.
*hugs*
Just out of curiousity, does he have drawing/painting impliments at home? Perhaps it would help to have a creative outlet so that he *KNOWS* he's not being punished?

Talk about redundant teaching.
You should never reduce a child to TEARS!
