DS(10) has abdominal pain. He had it before in June. He had lots of tests and he's being seen by a doctor at the hospital. They couldn't find anything wrong so put it down to unexplained pain. The doctor emphasised that it was genuine and DS was not making it up. It hurts when he bends and is painful for him to go up and down stairs as doing these puts a strain on his stomach muscles. I explained all this to school and asked that he could go the long way around to the dining room so as to avoid the stairs. Basically this means going out of the Y3/4 door, round the side of the school and in the Y5/6 door. This is during lunch time so staff around. They ignored this and made him go down the stairs. As I work in the school at lunchtime he came to me in tears so I took him home with me and kept him off school.
Anyway it started again this week. Had a word with school and said I didn't want him using stairs like last time as it causes pain. So they've been letting him go the long way around.
All well and good until yesterday. I wrote a note for him to be excused from P.E. to give to the P.E. teacher. In it I wrote about it causing him pain to be bending amongst other things. So instead of him doing P.E. she had him going around and picking up the balls for the rest of the class who we're playing hockey. Obviously this hurt him.
So am I being over protective or this the P.E. being out of order. I was all ready to go into the school today to see the headteacher because I was so angry yesterday that the P.E. teacher has ignored my wishes regarding my child.
