Me again, I see where you are coming from Italian and reading my own posts back I realise what I did not make clear is that mine were at school while in FC before placement - so school was/is normal practise for them. I guess what I'm saying is that it depends if your child has an already existing experience of education. Which as the OPs daughter is nearly six, I would guess she does. Apologies if not. So it all depends on that experience. Mine have quite severe SEN needs but school gives them structure and is a place of comforting routine even though they struggle academically.
Also, and brutal honesty here, we needed the structure that school brings, it gave them a sense of belonging and it gave is a break. I agree with Kew that our experience does not reflect 'best practise' but just what worked for us. I notice though that Wilson referred to climbing the walls and that was certainly where we were before they started (all of us) again this is due to a familiarity with the structures of school I guess.
I also misworded what I said about learning. I was referring to the new curriculum (only changed this year) which has leaped up for year 1 and 2 in particular. Homework etc is now required by the government, which is idiotic but true. My expectations of Y1 & 2 were playing in sand, art bit of light reading and sums etc and the new curriculum is just not like that. Also all children regardless of SEN have to do the SATs at 7. Also first year of this also idiotic. They also, and this is horrific, have to keep retaking if they fail. Pig- Fancier Cameron thinks it will motivate academic success rather than causing misery. I don't agree with any of this but the landscape has changed so radically.
Wilson so sorry for hijacking, I just know that I wish that someone had warned me about the new realities of school.
I echo what everyone else says, sounds like you are doing brilliantly. We are only five weeks ahead of you so please do PM me if you want to swap 5 year old notes!
