My DS is 8 and has struggled with school since day 1. Lots of issues going on, previous school dealt with him terribly. I feel so angry about how he was let down by them. He has moved to a new school and while is more settled he is still struggling. We have a social worker due to issues with DCs father. She isn’t supportive of HE. (Otherwise she is extremely supportive and helped arrange the new school) she has repeated several times she has no concerns with my parenting, I am a good parent. I have been researching and rolling the idea of HE around in my head for almost 2 years. I have met with local HEing families. I have joined the two local HE fb groups. I have researched curriculum etc. DS has started refusing school again and honestly I am ready to hand in the deregistration letter. If it wasn’t for the fact we have a social worker it would be deal done but I am terrified that this will be seen as me not being a good parent. There is little understanding of HE where I am. Even amongst both the head teachers my son has had. People are sneery and dismissive. It comes from a place of ignorance but that doesn’t stop the SW having the power to put a complete stop to it if she decides it shouldn’t happen.
What can I do?
