Can anyone give me some emrgency advice please?
My son started school last term full of enrthusiasm looking forward to learning. He could already read fluently and was excited at the prospect of going to find out about all sorts of intersesting things. Instead from the first week there he has been described as challenging because he didn;t appear interested in the story being read eg This is the bear, which he considers suitable for his baby brother as he is reading Harry Potter etc himself. He has also been called up to the head for beaking a pencil !
Our experience has always been of a bright inquisitiv e child who loves to be challenged and stimulated from 4.30 am onwards. He walked and talked early and has always been sensitive and kinf. Since going to school he has learnt a lot of playground skills but little else, though he did teach his middle brother about odd and even numbers and set him a quiz (which the 3 yr old loved and answered correctly, to our amazement)
Yesterday I was called to collect hiom from school as he had broken a panel of glass in an interior door. It was clar that the school sa\w this as a deliberate act of defiance wheras I am certain that it was not his intentionas he is normally very careful and certainly not aggressive or destructive. I expect some of you will think I am blind to his faults but I know that he is frustrated at the lack of stimualtion at school ( he is at the top of yr 1, though he shpuld be in reception) He comes home and asks to do his m usic and for us to make up codes for him to crack etc. He is hard work as he has lots of energy and loves to be mentally and physically challenged but he is not naughty in the way the school seem toi think.
I have a meeting tomorrow with the head and would love any tips on how to tackle this... I feel so sure that the school aren't understanding my son
pleas help!
