Hi all
I was just wondering if anyone had taken their child out of reception class.
I have always liked the idea of homeschooling but I am just too afraid.
However now, it is starting to become a serious need. My son is having a lot of troubles in school and I just want it all to stop now.
He's already changed from a happy and bright (slightly hyper) boy. To a frustrated, sad, self doubting child.
Its hard seeing my son slip so far away from us, he's 5!!!! How on earth does a 5 year old even become depressed? Its sad seeing how my son has changed since starting school.
He is being bullied ... School didn't bother telling me this, I finally managed to get him to open up one day, went in to tell the teachers the next day and they told me they already knew!!! :(
They didn't bother telling me.
They are regularly telling me my son has attacked another child but then telling me they don't know how it started and they didn't see it happen.
They are also concerned about my sons behavior, saying they are concerned about his speech/language (he has been seen by speech/language therapy and they loved him and said he was fine). They have also just refered my son to a occupational therapist ( I have just signed the forms this afternoon, I really didn't want to do this)
The school call me into a meeting to talk about my sons "behavoir" but never actually say what's wrong specificly. Normally they say things re, lining up/waiting in line/not calming down after play time/ect..
But however they can never show me any evidence of this and they are not troubles we have with ds after school.
We have never had any problems that they are describing with ds outside of school.
The school call me in for a meeting talking about the "severity" of my sons actions, again not actually telling me anything what's actually happened. I then don't hear from them for weeks until I get called in again.
When I ask them at the end of the day what's happened they either say nothing or they don't know.
I really don't want my son to be there anymore. But am I brave enough to start homeschooling (which is what I really want and dh agrees it'll be more beneficial to our son) or do I take him to another school?
I really don't want to make any complaints against this school or specify any reasons of why I want him to leave... I just want to take him out of there
I also worry about homeschooling as I am more of an actual sit down and practice writing/reading ect rather than a learning through play kind of person.
I am unsure of what I need to do, is it really as easy as just de-registering my son from school via letter to school and council?
I also have worried regarding cost as my dh is currently out of work and I am expecting dc #2. And how we would be viewed by the local authority for not sending out son to school when my dh is not working and providing for us
Any tips would be greatly appreciated
