education for my son

[adele1979]

My son just turned 4 in may 2018 he has never been to nusery I do not believe in nusery or schooling as I feel they gave so much control over children.

I'm looking to move abroad so do not want my son to attend school in Scotland

Does anyone know when he would be due to start school in Scotland so I know how much time I have to play with in regards to moving out the country. Thank you

I think you would be better off seeking some professional help for the trauma you are clearly still living with - honestly, the UK education system does not consist of child snatchers. But the choice is yours. However, you need to be aware that home education is currently not legal in Cyprus - whereas it is in the UK. Also, state schools in Cyprus are Greek speaking, so I hope you have been bringing your DS up to be bilingual.

how awful for you.
Who snatched him?
Honestly I can only speak for England but the reception class/Year 1/year 2 was fantastic, I had no complaints at all.

'snatched at birth and came home 8 months later' suggests either a custody battle or that he had to be removed by Social care.
Clearly this is not anything to do with the schools.

You need help for your own anxiety issues, this issue is not about school and control but your own fear of him being out of your sight.

Full time education is compulsory from 5yo in Cyprus, and if it is illegal to HEd as PP says then he will be in school at the same age and for the same length of time as he would here.

I agree with PP that you probably need some support OP, rather then taking flight.

Although with your anxiety I could understand if you moved from Scotland to England - as things seem very emeshed in Scotland (in some places). So SS very closely connected to GPs who are very closely connected to Schools.

Gosh, what a story - how awful for you, I’m sorry OP. I can only echo the previous poster and say that my three young children absolutely love going into the school and the school and the teachers are wonderful. Perhaps it would help to look around a few different types of schools? Mine go to a tiny little village school - only 30 children in it and everyone knows everyone, it’s just lovely. So maybe a setting like that would work for you - wherever that may be. I also agree that you should seek professional help for what was clearly a traumatic start for both you and your child and I hope you can manage to get beyond it. I feel for you, it must be hard.

OP your story sounds very tragic but have you visited any schools at all? You may be surprised at how lovely they are and how caring the staff are. It sounds like you are running away from a problem that will not actually resolve your fears. Please do not be a slave to your fears or let your DC miss out from friendships and learning poor but get some help.
