DD is 9. This is my original thread here.
Synopsis: dd has pvf, and our doctor wanted a 'graded return' to school, he suggested mornings only for a week and then afternoons only for a week. If she hadn't recovered by then we were to return to the surgery and he would do blood tests. The school agreed and we sent her in on Friday morning.
Now, since Monday they have been pushing me into getting her back to full time immediately. I capitulated yesterday, but was not at all happy with how tired she was and how hard it was to get her up this morning.
DH took her to school this morning and had a word with her teacher to get her back to half days, which the school has agreed to, but they've asked for a note from the doctor. Is this normal for a school?
When her teacher talks to me, I always feel like he's thinking I'm just a silly woman with raging PFB syndrome. DH said he felt like he was just an aging hippy who doesn't value education (definitely not true).
We've got an appointment with another doc today (ours is away this week) to get the note.
I am really sad, because we had such a good relationship with her last teacher and the school right up to this year. These year 5 teachers are a very different stamp and both seem to be quite sarcastic and patronising. One of them asked dd if she was going to grace them with her full presence - very loaded, but luckily dd thought he was being funny.
Any advice or elucidation?
