I am having a rant a strop a hissy fit a melt down and a tantrum all rolled into one and I don't care who knows it!!!"

[TheLadyEvenstar]

because ds1 has gone and got himself excluded from school AGAIN for acting a prat, this time throwing a kid against the lockers in a fucking game and the kid doing it in the same fucking idiotic game

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY I am fucking furious that he has been such an arse.

How do I apply? I am new to this and don't really know what to do x

Pop over to the SN Children board, and browse the hundreds of threads on this issue :)

IPSEA have a model letter here.....

Apply this logic to their 'educationally needy' comment:

Does his AS affect his education?

And the answer is yes, clearly, because it affects his ability to manage in the school environment. He is, therefore, 'educationally needy'.

Bollocks to them - just because he can cope with the academic course load does not mean he can cope with education, and statements are there to facilitate a child's access to education.

Apply for yourself, if you need to.
