Help!
I think I have mentiond before my (mixed race) son is at a school that is 95% bangladeshi. There are no white/african or mixed race people in his class. He has been called nig head as a result of which I had to relax his hair. He gets attacked alot, apparently the year 3 boys like proving they are hard by picking on him. No he's not perfect but he is highly intelligent and better hes a fabulous son who helps me with the little ones and is funny and kind. I am really angry that AS USUAL I tried to call his teacher this afternoon only to find her too busy to call me. This has happened lots of times. He hates his school, from being a year or more ahead at the end of the first year now he shows no interest in learning. I want him moved but the local schools are oversubscribed. When I called admissions to complain they all they could do was get social workers to investigate. I made a complaint before on another matter and after a month of intimidation decided to drop it, after which the intimidation magically disappeared. The only option I have is to move and I think it's really DISGUSTING that a school can ignore the needs of their pupils in such a manner.
They did do a lesson on Africa from which my son gleaned that Africans live in huts and don't have phones, which his furious father set him straight on.
Any suggestions on which way forward? I am getting no help at all here from the people who are paid to help. He's been on waiting lists for the local schools for a couple of years but they are all full or so they say.
I am getting really upset now.
