Home phone but have kept all e-mails so have daily e-mail records - not sure if you can get records of incoming phone calls though we should be able to get outgoing ones at least.

Definitely not admitting to illegal exclusions though Head did by e-mail before but its very odd they've added DH comes in (just randomly btw they have phrased it not them insisting we take him home) and it says he physically removes him and witnesses have been distressed.

It also says they have never had a whole family meeting - they've never requested one. DH goes to meetings as I have a long term illness but I e-mail them several times a day, speak on phone and am also here when they sent DS home once a week or so and after school. I bet if a man where ill and woman going to meetings they wouldn't do anything, grrr. Not sure they can do anything against me though as surely a single parent would just attend meetings alone but not 100% sure. Trouble is the whole picture of witnesses distressed and me at home and not stated why gives impression of abuse when infact he's being amazing.

Just read the EHA form and the SENCO has made a huge deal out of the fact husband physically removes him from school even though school give us no choice in matter. I wonder if combined with requests to see me alone and meetings at home they are trying to make out he's abusive. Could be wrong but looks suspicious. I've told them we aren't signing it.

Well both gone to school, had battle with DS last night told him he needed to go to school today unless ill said yes then asked him about geography homework and a battle ensued with DS locking himself in bathroom. Have warned school though went off cheerful today but has detention.

Thanks Dobbins He growled for 5 minutes after DH left and school had started then remained silent until school finish time. I just logged on goforschools and saw he was given a detention for today for not doing geography homework. I thought he was supposed to be exempt from those though at some point needs to do homework so not that bothered either way but would have appreciated a warning. So guessing that's why we've had this today. Though he may well be ill too as we've all got flu and he was complaining house was too hot at 15C yesterday and he turned it down to 10C. We normally have it at 20C but have been feeling hot with this.

On plus side DD has come home and school have chosen 9 year 8s to enter in the Intermediate Maths Challenge which is for year 9 to 11s she said and she's been chosen. Had a reply back from complaint about ASD process that they want my permission to send to commissioners so given that.

DS at home today, started growling at 7.45 and carried on to 8.45, not sure if he's coming down with flu, we've all got it or whether its a homework crisis or both but kept him off as he won't go voluntarily and he'ld be complete nightmare there. DD doing homework at 7.30am but least she's done it but did tell me she missed a detention as she forgot it.

DDs been to her skydiving party, went back to our old house and discovered letters there from TV licensing saying we are running a business from there which has people watching TV and they are watching us. Nothing that interesting

Hope you all had a fun day in the snow Witchend - pretty much gone here now. That sounds complicated Dobbins never know why schools call you so close to home time.

DH just back from taking DD down to her party in London so no DD until tomorrow night - cat is very cross with them both, she didn't give her permission for this and has been trying to howl them back. DS just got me to order desserts from Dominos and asked me to order an ice cream, any one you like Mummy but when I read them out he said I don't like that one to all but two of them

The senco has done forms for ed psych and for autism assessment and said the English teacher was very pleased with DS's English assessment. He told me another teacher stopped him when he was with friends to tell him he has the most beautiful handwriting ever, he said that teacher was weird. Have a great weekend everyone.

That sounds fun Witchend Just looked and we have heavy snow predicted today and DDs party is in London though think will still be OK, its one of her old friends.

We have snow here already though school has been open - its only a couple of inches. DS was very impressed saying this place is so much better than London, they get proper snow here

Just DD has been telling me about tests - we have goforschools and grading changes several times per term and they don't seem to average at all. Clearly being inputted by teachers, the grumpy computing teacher has put DD failed all year 7 and we didn't return anything year 7, she didn't start until year 8 but 50% of her mark is that She's just told me most people's grades are going down, always good to know. The grammar school reports were so much clearer - you had exact mark and school average and average grade there was an 8 so very clear what you were aiming at. They both have had more tests today though at least DS did his English one, first English test he's actually done, said he didn't write that much but its a start.

Well done to your DS Cheminotte DS used to struggle with PE in primary too though signed us up to David Lloyd for few years and got to love PE after that.

DD results seem to be going down a bit again - so volatile as no averaging so really hard to know what is going on - have to quiz kids and no idea if they are talking rubbish. DD says her test included things she hadn't been taught at all - maybe as they put her in middle set last term as no space in top set but odd topic not covered at all. And French said they hadn't taught to excelling so didn't test to it according to DD. DSs results are pretty bad but that's as he misses lots of tests or parts of tests for which they put him at lowest grade rather than no show.
