After 18 months of thinking about HE I am happy to say that today is the very last day of state education for DS2.
The de-reg letter was hand delivered by my son to the head teacher yesterday (I wasn't able to see her and his own teacher wasn't in school yesterday.) I have had no phone call or note home from anyone from school to even ask why ( I am not surprised).
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and now my son can really start to learn. We had his school report on Friday and there was no surprises. In one whole school year he has only gone up one sublevel and they are ok with that saying at least it is improving. I love my son very much and I have to be honest and say being at level 2 at the end of year 4 is not good.
DS has a speech delay which affects his work quite clearly, he asks them for help and they tell him do it on your own. This is from a boy that is full of confidence, very out going and likes to do things for himself anyway. He never ask for help unless he needs it.
I now wished I had done this ages ago but it has taken this long for his dad to also agree with me that being in school is not helping.
Just because state education is free it doesn't mean to say it is any good.
I am about to go and collect him in 30mins and I can't wait to see the back of this place and allowing my son to really learn, grow and love life.
