Sending child to school even though she's a Foster carer

[Darkbloom]

Ok am I being unreasonable?

I know someone who is a Foster carer (stays at home all day, everyday, know this as I am close with her). Should she really be sending her Foster child to school when she could easily home school the child herself?

@Darkbloom

Ok... thanks for all your comments. I asked if it was being unreasonable - I'm putting myself out there, I dont expect the rudeness that some of you guys have given. I asked a question not killed somebody. Ok I have my answer, I am being unreasonable. Cheers 🍻

Don't spit your dummy out.

You came onto a notoriously robust part of the forum and asked a shitty question.

I did read the thread and her acceptance was more of a petulant teenager than a grown adult.

HTH.

The child is in care. Very few children in care dont have some form of additional needs due to circumstances around having to be fostered. The child may need the stability that school brings.

A looked after child should be in school.

Though there are children in my sons school attending and have a mum at home on maternity leave. Which I think is crazy.

of course that child should be in school. They count as vulnerable.
Honestly people need to drop this subject as this post just shows how truly ignorant people can be. Honestly I despair.

HTH

Help what?

Of course she should, if that's whats best for the dc! Looked after children are at a huge disadvantage so should get extra help.

It is expected that all LAC are in school. Its very much frowned upon to keep them off school.

Did you just pick a random theme to do with vilifying parents and vulnerable kids op?
That must be the reason because its obviously dont know the mum very well at all as you know sfa about fostering and vulnerable children going through the care system.

What a nasty post.

I hate the way this pandemic has brought out this desperation to catch people out in a crime when a moment of research would tell you that what's happening is perfectly OK.

Yes OP you are, as others have given reasons.

Mind your own business.

They are explicitly listed as allowed to attend as are adopted children

Looked after children are vulnerable as they've normally suffered trauma, upheaval maybe abuse. So it's usually in their own interests to keep the continuity that school life provides.
Personally I think non LAC also need this but sadly they're being forgotten in all this.

Foster children are on the approved list

YABU for all the reasons stated by others above
