OK today ds has come home from school having spent the whole day in with Yr1 (meeting is not until tomorrow). He now thinks Reception is "boring".
I now know who the other children are and none of them are friends that he's talked about, in fact one is a boy who I've heard from ds and other parents is a bit of a bully. So much for social relationships being considered.
Any opinions would be welcome as dh and I are seething and have to face this meeting tomorrow morning with other parents who we suspect will be in favour of it.
