I know that I should pay my ds's final terms school fees before he moves but I really don't want to. I know that this may appear unreasonable but my ds is miserable. The head assured me when he took over in September that he knew how to handle boys who are gifted but have social problems but it is so painfully apparant that he does not. My ds gets into trouble for the silliest little thing, talking at lunch time, laughing at a kid messing around during rehersals (the other kid didn't get into trouble). The head has admitted that the school has failed my ds. He thinks my child is opinionated and uncaring. Ds wants to go back for the last term but I really do not want to pay money for my child to be bullied by the teachers. He doesn't fit in, he's very bright but can be a bit silly. The teachers are on his back all the time, other children have noticed that he gets into trouble for things where other children are not. £2k is alot of money. I would rather not pay and take my ds on a holiday where he could learn about other cultures and lives. I know that this is very unreasonable, I should pay up for the next term so can anyone give me a reason why I should?

Thankyou. I've just paid last terms fees so I'll wait until he goes back to pay the rest. Ohh, it's a tough decision.

If the school could not fulfill their side of the contract (ie. dealing appropriately /'handling' him) I would take him out and not pay. Why pay for crap service?
