As above.
She’s y6 so thankfully not long to go, but right now getting to July feels like an impossible task.
School has gone SATs mad. Kids have been whipped into a frenzy already with a timetable in place demanding hours of SATs homework a week. There are some very challenging pupils in her class and class behaviour is awful. Dd tells me daily she simply cannot concentrate.
There are constant fights in the playground and her friends like to get involved in the drama. Dd doesn’t want anything to do with any of it so has isolated herself from her friends as a consequence. I’ve spoken to school about this and they aren’t interested.
She’s talented in a particular area that isn’t “cool” so is subjected to meanness about that. It’s jealousy but heartbreaking.
Dd is, before my eyes, turning from a child who loved learning, who was confident and who seems to enjoy every part of schools into one that is miserable, possibly even verging on depressed, and longing, longing for the moment she doesn’t go to that school anymore.
Homeschooling, before anyone suggests that, is completely out of the question.
How do I manage the next few months?
