I think I'm wasting my money sending ds to a private school. I need some help please.

I can't see the difference between a state school and the one he's in. The classes are small but the lessons are being disrupted by some unruly pupils. They keep moaning about ds because he's joining in with them. I'm getting so annoyed that I'm paying for this. The work he's doing is no different to a state school, he's very bright and whizzing through it. I really don't know where to go from here. We could move and get a bigger house in a nice area with a nice school and save the money I'm spending on the fees. I feel like I've made a huge mistake moving him there but he's fairly happy. ARGH!!!

Scrooge, don't let him make you drinks. take charge and remind him you are the adult.

Please.

I do this. He gets really upset but I stay firm. I do feel quite sorry for him but I'm his parent, he's not mine. He's almost 10 and I need to start letting him do things for himself so it can be really hard finding the balance.

I think boarding school would be on the cards if this happened!

He was given a certificate at school today for the improvement in his behaviour so I don't think the meeting will be as I imagined.

What good news. I hope that tomorrow's meeting goes really well.

Hi She said she went over the charts and could see real progress, however, there are still aspects of his behaviour that need some work so she has agreed to get rid of the chart and use the 'smiley face board' that she uses with the other children. There wasn't alot she flagged up, he's not too good at teamwork, he's rushing his work but nothing to worry about.

Thankyou for all your help and caring. I really appreciate it.

All that worrying for what ended up being nothing! Sounds as if it the right school after all!

is

Great news.

Thankyou
