ds2 11 is having terrible trouble at high school. been there since september.
it started with him falling out with a boy and namecalling. being spat at and things
.
since then he has become friendless , unhappy , stopped doing his work altogether and now seems emotionally stressed. hes been saying things like , he hates his life and he wants to die etc.
he was punched in the face last week at school and they havent dealt with it.
after a meeting today with the most aggressive horrible teacher i have ever met, he refused to accept that ds2 had been bullied and said he was having ds2 assessed because it wasnt the other kids it was him.
he said it may be something like aspergers.
now, i am shocked. in my mind i know why ds2 is acting strangely, its the terrible unhappiness thats been caused by school. of course i could be wrong but surely it would have been picked up on by now ?
how would i know if he has aspergers ?
i am looking for another school now, as the way i have been treated this morning was horrendous. i dont want it to be this school that are assesing him as they are not getting a true pic of him now, its gone too far.
i so wished id had had someone else with me at that meeting or been able to record it . the young teacher who was also there knew it was bad , i saw her look, but of course they have to stick together dont they.
please someone advise, im in tears
