Hi everyone,
I posted the other day on 'Parenting' about my DS who has just started P2 (in Scotland) and seemed to be continuing his violent and disruptive behaviour from last year.
Out of the blue this morning, 8.14am, I got a call from the headmistress saying that she was going to exclude DS for a week and possibly longer.
This left me reeling as nobody has ever mentioned the possibility of exclusion before and indeed we have been waiting on ed.psych. assessment of DS, thinking he might have additional support needs (behaviour seems very ADHD perhaps ASD).
More immediately it has left me in dire crisis, as I am self-employed and due to return to work next Wednesday. I work Mon-Thurs most weeks and my only childcare is after school club. I have no family or babysitters around and if I don't go to work I have no income. I said this to the headmistress but it's irrelevant to her concerns about the wellbeing of other children.
To put it bluntly: WTF do I do? Where do I stand? Legally I thought it is an obligation to educate my child, do they really just 'leave us' like this with no alternative provision? Is there any agency who could possibly provide child care while I work? If I don't go to work I can't pay my rent, bills, buy food, it's as simple as that.
I am desperate, this was such a shock. Have been trying to get through to Children and Families but no-one's answering the phone.
