First week of school!

[autumngirl714]

And my son has come home from school having wet himself and none of the teachers knowing (he said he did to at dinner time so had wet paints all day)
lost his school jumper during the day
lost his drinks bottle during the day the following day
and now I’ve just had a message from school saying he hasn’t got his book bag when he took it in this morning meaning that has gone missing at school too!

Aibu to be really annoyed and concerned about the attention teachers are taking in him?
he is undiagnosed of anything but suspected autistic traits so he is in the SEN radar and I’ve been told he has extra eyes at school.
he’s 5 and in yet one. He’s finding this really upsetting as he’s thinking he’s done something wrong.

im also told that 2 others children’s jumpers have gone missing and one school coat in the same year.

i know that stuff goes missing at school, i know the teachers have a lot of children to look after but to me this is absolutely not ok!!!

all this is ONE week!!!

I'm that TA in an older class, I have 6 high need children that I help plus anyone else coming in who has had a bad morning/break time. I have children that I'm supporting who are still waiting on ehcp funding that was applied for in January . I am working at capacity, as is my teacher, lost jumpers and bottles are not high on my list of priorities!

Hi OP,

I'm so sorry that your DS is struggling. Mine was too at this age. He soldiered on until age 13 and then I had to take him out.

Ignore all the people who are being mean on this thread.

It's hard for kids who are "nearly mainstream" and are put into mainstream. You might need to look into a private or special school if your DC needs more support. Mainstream is hard for these kids that nearly can, but can't quite cope.

It won't be a really 1:1 TA without an EHCP. You probably need an EHCP.

Nobody is 'being mean'.

People are explaining it is very normal to lose things, and making suggestions that might help.

Suggesting that a child you don't know anything about needs a special school is a bit of a leap.
