DS1 has mock SATS this week (KS3) but he's currently at home with severe stomach pains/vomiting/diahorrea etc. I took him to the doctor yesterday as he was so poorly. Trouble is, a couple of weeks ago I was speaking to the SENCO at his school about what support, if any, he would get during his SATS (he's dyslexic) and I made it very clear how much I hated the whole system and thought SATS are a waste of space. Despite my views, I really rate the school and I wouldn't want to alienate them, so I wouldn't keep him at home without a very good reason. Trouble is now they will probably think I'm lying about his being ill to avoid the tests. Part of me thinks, so what - I know he's ill, but I would hate them to think I was lying. Should I even be bothered by this?
