........it went really well!
The chap was very nice, very approachable and really seemed to understand why we now HE our ds1. He kept apologising for the experiences we have had with the school!
He really engaged with ds1 - they got talking about Chile and alpacas!!??? - and he seemed genuinely interested in him and his learning.
I have to admit to being very pleasantly surprised!
Anyway, at the end of the meeting he said "this is normally where I make suggestions for improving the learning experience but in this case there is nothing I can add. You are doing a great job"
Ds1 is still adamant that he does not want to go to Juniors in september so guess what....hes not going!!!! I know I only planned to do this til september but it feels so right for us at the moment and ds1 is so happy and making progress so why rock the boat? On a completely selish level, I would miss him so much if he went back to school!
One thing he did say which puzzled me was that the "new" laws which may be coming into effect (i.e. the badman recommendations???) will mean more resources for HEers/free GCSE exams????...I didnt comment at the time as it was the end of the meeting and ds1 was anxious to get to his swimming lesson but I wondered what you all thought of that??? Is that right??
