hmmm..

[tolerable]

OK.Try to condense.I have a long-standing/not too manageable sleep disorder-ins and outs aside; i sleep like am dead. If left to it,probli wouldnt get up very often at all. Alarm clocks cover my window ledge,top of wardrobe etc..as much use as none somedays. Biggest prob is school. my ds is 7. tho great once he gets there is not overly enthusiastic about going. on the worst days,alarms ring,phone rings..but pretty much it requires one as persistant and relentless as my boy to wake me. This isnt a new problem.school were pre-warned its a problem area. (i am lone parent,no family or friends here)Whilst appeared really understanding at first-in practice-they arent. i got took in heads office-she had made a colour chart indicating late days with contrasting colour of on times. i wasnt particularly joyous and only managed to say "wow,did you do that yourself". i liase with head,class teacher-eg doc changes my meds.i get him detail how long to stop one on,how long new one to kick in..its very trial and even more error. my aibu is on friday the kids got "snapshot"jotter home that has pieces of work from points throughout year.at end is a parents comments space.its scotland,wee nicola has already got every child coded and on system..presumeably the snapshot will only actually be for sons use in future. the teacher has written "article missing due to latecoming"..i am inclined to ..rant..photocopy the latest "pinnpoint header doctor assesment" its not ds fault hes late(is usually half hour tops).i always note his homework or include letter requesting "catch up"which we can do at home. never ever get any.aibu-thinking they are,my son lives with me, 24/7,i dont pretend i think lates ok,i dont think this was place to reiterate it.i want to respond.wtfdo i do?

Ok, to reply to your OP - if your ds's school is like ours, teachers all set specific pieces of work for the snapshot jotters. It is a record of the child's work but I suspect it is also used as a way of grading as anyone can see how each child compares against their peers? So they all do the same work at the same time - a child not in class wouldn't have completed the task.
However I do think the teacher could have allowed a similar substitute piece of work?
Incidentally, we live a 5 minute walk from school and NEED to be up by 7.15am to get organised and out in time.

pestalentill boundry- was dla-til transition.currently at request to mandatory stage. have enlisted help from mp-thank goodness or wouldnt have dicovered despite signature required post being traceable the original went awol.am up to my neck in that.ds dad lives spitting distance from us but does not do anything fatherly/helpful and causes heaps heartache. i know i need to do something-have shouted it off rofftops.so far -nae guid.
friensd odf sad girl-thankyou. that kinda underlines my aibu. query. i dont think it fair for ds on every level espescially at home,dunno why teacher did that tho-its not like am not try repeatedly to fix situation.lifes a mess.

dragonmummy-thankyou for link.i am sorry my writing comes out awful especially so when have to try to type it.
and drivingmisspotty thankyou. i still think it was mean to include in his book. i was horrible to the head and i dont tend to be. it is a rotten problem,i keep diary of all sleep defect events so the colour chart graph thing just seemed weird.i am doing all i can re infoshare-docs etc..and its still not perfect. i have no family here.we are a funny end of town and my ds is only one from this direction at his school.i have approached socialservices with regard to all this-they didnt seem to think it was that big an issue and said they had no role in ds life,he is not neglected or uncared for but if continues without improvement to contact them again. most days we are on time,its a huge improvement which is why i was arsey bout the jotter comment..
