We have just had parents evening and it wasn't get. Ds is doing sweet FA in class and is being threatened with being demoted from the top table. At the moment ds is suffering from anxiety and I believe that this is the reason that he is under performing in the classroom. We are waiting for a referal to see a pychologist as ds is too young to be prescribed medication. Ds' teacher knows this.
The stupid cow launched into him that key stage 2 SATs have a serious affect on his future, which is utter bollux. Ds finished year 5 with 4a for maths, 5c for reading and 4b for writing. At the moment he is not performing to these levels as he is frankly ill. It does not help him to tell him that he is not top table standard at the moment.
I feel that the stupid bitch of a teacher needs to take a step back and stop stressing him. The poor child is feeling suicidal at the age of ten.
If if ds does crash out in his key stage 2 SATs I don't believe it will change the course of his life. No exam is that important.
