I'm so angry my daughter who is 7 and by no means a pfb is really struggling at school since starting y3.
Her eldest sister who is now 17 has dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia - and she is showing all the same traits and signs.
She is having interventions and has seen the SENCO ( who was also eldest dd SENCO) who says she is almost certainly dyslexic and we just need official diagnosis of dyspraxia :(. Since October she is also suffering from regular vomiting usually during school hours and is now on medication for two months to see if it's reflux although the consultant thinks it could be anxiety.
I've just had her in floods of tears again as her teacher apparently sighs and huffs at her because her writing isn't neat and she can't get a pen license as she doesn't meet the national standard. She also misses golden time for not finishing her work.
I've spoke to school loads and I'm in an awkward position as I work in the school so speak to her teacher everyday as a colleague and feel very awkward complaining about her or to her but today she didn't even know dd had been sick, at hone time I asked if she had and she said no and dd pipes up that she has been in the sick bucket while they were doing science and we went to look and she had 😢.
I just don't know what to do she's gone from been really happy to saying she hates school , she knows all the stuff in her head she just can't put it on paper.
Why aren't they treating each child based on their skills rather than lumping them all in the same boat and punishing her for something she physically can't do.
