My son is coming up 14 all through lock down he has refused to do any home learning. I contacted the school and told them it was hard for him to follow the time table. As I have a child with special needs who does not sleep well. So it means we sometimes sleep later in the mornings. They said it could be more flexible as long as its done. Son still did not do it.
They did say its possible he could go into school under being vulnerable due to his sibling having special needs and it being difficult... but nothing became of this.
My son was also questioned how it would be better for him and he said if he had all his work on paper.. so they did that for him still nothing from him.
I contacted the school on a few occasions for help. As I did not know what to do. They have tried to support. But I guess there's only so much they can do.
He also got emails from the school. Some were positive encouragement. Others were more firm and spoke about how let down they felt and how hard they have tried. He also had a phone call from head of year.
Head of year called Me several days back and told me school welfare are going to pay us a visit. She said it was not a reflection on me. But to try and push my son into doing something. I told him what was happening and he still did nothing.
So tonight welfare officer knocks on the door. They have said I could get fined because hes not been doing work. And have given him till Friday to get a decent amount of work done. They are coming back on Friday. If there's no improvement they may refere to social services.
He is excellent in school his attendance is good. He's top set for everything.
At the moment he's not allowed his playstation. I can't turn of Internet as his older brother is doing A levels so he needs it.
