Sorry I have to keep this very a bit cryptic as any more details would out me to school...
Ds is in Y4, he is 8, turning 9 at the end of the school year.
Ever since the beginning of Year 4 school have been banging on how children are responsible for themselves, need to become independent and so on.
Ds got himself into a major, potentially very dangerous pickle (he is fine now) because he was responsible for whatever he failed to do himself.
He is a good boy and tries to do the right thing. According to his logic he followed the school rules to the letter.
School are adamant that all fault lies with my 8 year old son. I think they should have shown/taught him how to do this independent thing first, which they didn't! They have known him for years and know that, although bright, he is not the most mature of Year 4s.
Does this make sense to anybody?
