Thats me fed up not DS!!
Heres the short version of my problem!
Ds is in Year 1. He is in a class of Yr1s and 2s and is the youngest in his class by nearly 3 months. He wont be 6 till the end of July.
Since he started back in September DS has had a problem with his temper. He tends to be very strong willed and has a tendancie to kick off if he is asked to do something that he doesnt want to do. We have been VERY strict with him at home and have his behaviour under control and we thought he was doing better at school too. At parents evening a few weeks ago we were told that DS is a very intelligent little boy but his temper was starting to get in the way of his progress. When i asked his teacher for specifics she was unable to give any and when i asked to have regular communication about his behaviour she said she didnt have the time.
Thats really the last time she has spokent o me regarding DS behaviour untill Monday. On monday his teacher called me over and told me he had had a bad day and had been told off a few times. That was all she told me. I spoke to DS and he told me what he had done. He was banned from watching TV and was sent to bed at 6pm for being naughty. Also made him write a letter of apology. On tuesday i sent DS into school with a letter for his teacher asking that a wirrten home school communication book be started so that i could be kept up to date with any problems and could punish accordingly.
On tuesday i was asked by DSs substitute teacher for a chat. The sub teacher told me that they were thinking of excluding DS at lunch times as he was not behaving. I asked if his teacher had got the letter and she said she wasnt aware of a letter.
Today i rang at 9.15 and left a message asking for DSs teacher to ring me when she gets a chance and i rang back at 12.30 to be told she had got the message and would ring after school. Needless to say there was no phone call and there is no communication whatsoever in DSs book bag.
What do i do? Do i write another letter reiterating that i want a home-school book or do i wait and give her till next week to reply?
Surely if my sons behaiviour is so bad that they want to exclude him then they should be wanting to talk with me. I always thought exclusion was for when every other possible plann had failed? I am a paretn who wants to sort this out desparately because the behaviour they are describing is not what i see at home, yes he can be rude and have a bit of an attitude which he is punished for BUT i dont see the angry, aggressive boy they describe (and im not saying he isnt doing it! Just that i dont see it)
I am getting really upset about all this and very frustrated that the school and especially DSs teacher does not want to work with me to sort this out.
Sorry for the rant!
