Hi,
Quick question.....
DS yr6 came home yesterday saying he had been given a lunchtime detention. What he actually meant was he had been kept in during his lunch time for not completing his English work in class.
He said he didn't understand the task and they didn't have long to do it and his writing has always been slower than his reading and comprehension work.
However, the school's own behaviour and discipline policy states that if a child misbehaves, they are given a verbal warning then their name is written on the board....adding a mark for every minute they're naughty and adding up those minutes to break time lost.
No wonder he thought it was a detention!
I've written an email I haven't sent yet because surely, as his teacher, if he can't complete the task in the expected time, she should be thinking perhaps he found it hard and needs more support with it.....rather than missing the only time he actually at school....break time!!
