DD's school is closed today because of the snow. The school has sent an e-mail to all of the parents with an attachment containing work sheets for the children to complete at home. There is one for each year group and they are similar to the usual homework exercises sent.
My DD is in Primary 1 so it's a bit of colouring in, but there are different sheets for each year group. For the P6 children there is a worksheet with words which they need to copy and then write a sentence for 4 of the words of thier choosing. However, there is a second P6 worksheet with the names of 2 specific children on it who have been given much easier words as they obviously have some additional learning needs.
AIBU in thinking that if there was going to be differentiated homework the school should have e-mailed this to the parent's of the 2 children affected, rather than send the same message to the whole of the junior school which pretty much says 'in case you hadn't noticed, children X and Y need additional learning support'.
Although my child is not affected I feel that I want to e-mail the headmaster to point this out. Should I, or should I just get over it? It's just made me feel a bit uncomfortable about the way the school may treat those with ASN.
FWIW I'm a former teacher and would never have singled a child out in this way, but don't know if this is 'normal' behaviour.
