As you all know, DS will be going to a special school in September.
Parents from his mainstream school class have just found out that his leaving. Many parents have judged me harshly as they don't think it's a good idea for DS to go to a school far away and strongly advised I should of put him into the local specialist units/schools.
I will be transporting DS myself to the school and to get there by train takes 20 mins or an hour on the bus. DS previous nursery (which he attended for four years) was an hour and a half away, so we have been used to travelling quite far away distances.
But I find myself telling many parents that picking a special school is not as easy as choosing a mainstream school, also, there are more mainstream schools than special schools to begin with.
Has anybody had this issue? As it is really bugging me.
