Hi Mumsnet
Could someone help me to draft a withdrawal letter from RE, please?
I’m not a native English speaker and don’t know how to word it. I want to withdraw my Year 7 daughter from her RE lessons.
My daughter has ASD and finds it difficult to concentrate if she finds something confusing. That’s how she usually says that RE is very confusing, and she doesn’t want to do it. She generally finds abstract things hard to comprehend, but she is massively into chemistry and biology, and she simply doesn’t get the idea of RE studies. She is in religious school, and she currently has 2 RE lessons per week, which last 90min each. Although, she is totally fine with masses. She only has a problem with RE as a discipline.
So, do I just simply say that I would like to withdraw my daughter from RE, or do I need to give a reason that she doesn’t understand the subject because of her condition?
In my home country, religion is not mixed with education, so I have no problems to withdraw her. My daughter will have a compulsory RE in her GCSE, so I initially thought to withdraw her in Year 9 or 10 closer to GCSE time, but I guess it needs to be dealt now.
Thanks
