My nearly 8 year old daughter has recently started a new school. She has severe LD, and other SEN's. Including autistic traits, but NOT on the autisic spectrum.
We went to her school the other day, and she was ment to show us her work, then the parents were going to watch a film of the children. She compleatly blanked us, and refused to acnowledge us the whole time. Today we went to the school to take her around their christmas fayre. She screamed and cried the whole time, saying "Go away! I don't want you here!" and I only want my friends. At school, her behavior is excellent. The teachers have never had any problems with her. At home, she is usually happy and content too. It just seems to be, when we go to the school.
If I spoke to the teacher and explained this, then said we wouldn't be comming to any more school functions, unless it was just to watch a show, do you think she'd understand? I don't want her to think that we don't care, or just don't want the hassle. We don't want to cause her the stress. I'm worried the teaching staff will think we're awful parents, as she either screams blue murder or blanks us every time we turn up.

Would anyone blame me for chosing not to attend my DD's school functions?
