DD got another Red letter today; why don't the school realise how upsetting it is?

[KatyMac]

DD has uncontrolled asthma atm (has had for 3-5 years)

She sees the asthma nurse 4 weekly & the hospital 4 monthly
She is on a shed load of medication

She has had time off school; she will have more time off school, this term probably, year definitely.

So they send a letter home says her attendance is unacceptable & will affect her long term performance

Um we know
She comes to school & gets set home poorly

She can't actually control her chest infections/asthma

How is she going to feel about being told off informed of this?

My dd's school is under the same LEA as Katymac's and they don't send out these horrible letters for attendance. It's so wrong.

I am giving DD a signed but undated letter to take in her school bag every day (I'll photocopy a pile of them)

Then she can give it in if her asthma is bad & get let off games and be inside

& I don't care if IABU
