I am sitting here gently seething with steam erupting from every orifice of mine.
I posted on here a few weeks ago regarding ds being bullied at school. and how school were not listening to me. I had to see the learning mentor regarding him and i then told her about the bullying she said we will deal with it.
The school council (aged 5-11) are the ones dealing with this issue. it is bloody ridiculous. Then wednesday I recieve a letter from the school regarding an incident in which my DS (8) apparently made sexual gestures to a teacher, i spoke to ds at length and he assures me he did not do anything. The child who told the teacher he had done it is renowned for lying and also bullying ds yet ds still got in a lot of trouble. I wrote back to the school stating these issues and I have now recieved a letter back telling me they want to see me with his class teacher, litracy teacher and head teacher on monday 26th feb, (day they go back to school).
The head states in the letter that to make progress with his issues of behaviour and relationships they need to work with me. I ASKED THEM TO DEAL WITH THE BULLYING OVER A YEAR AGO!!!!!!!!!!!! He also states that they clearly have not been able to communicate effectively with me about their concerns...WHY THE FUCK HAVEN'T THEY WRITTEN BEFORE??????
He hopes this meeting with those working with DS will offer me a rounded picture of his ability, progress and the things inhibiting his academic and personal progress.
Oh and he will continue to log and communicate with me his issues of concern in advance of this date.....They finished school today ffs so what is he going to tell me next?
Ds, today was the victim of another form of bullying, when the main class bully stole a mobile from another child and planted it in Ds's book bag. Thing is a member of staff and other class pupils saw the boy put it there. Yet nobody told me it had happened, (my mum did because she works there).
I AM SO ANGRY, WHY ARE THEY QUICK TO TELL ME HIS FAULTS BUT WHEN SOMETHING IS DONE TO HIM NOBODY TELLS ME.
In the last 5 weeks he has come home with his coat ripped, lip split open, trousers ripped, shoes cut and a few other things. BUT nobody told me this was a form of bullying and when i alerted the school they did nothing until the other pupils witnessed it.
I explained to the learning mentor, yes he is refusing to do class work because he knows this way he will miss his playtime meaning they little shits that are bullying him can't get to him. I also told her that the classroom assistant will find fault with everything ds does, he fidgets- loses playtime, puts hand on radiator- loses playtime, redoes his shoes up - is made to stand up for the duration of the lesson.
I am trying to calm down but am so angry i feel like bursting into tears. Don't get me wrong i know he is no angel show me an 8 yr old boy who is? but he is not the terror they are making him out to be.
SORRY FOR RANTING ON PEEPS.
