Lovely teachers.nice children...I home educated my eldest 3. But that was 12 yrs a go...my 8 yr old ,every morning dosnt want to go..he's awaiting assessment for hfa.most likely has it...he's hard work.im older .less patience.but god I feel so guilty,like I'm not doing my best for him...I don't know why I'm posting.i know what I want from posting this...I just feel so bad.

Sorry.i don't know what I want from posting this.sorry

You are doing your best for your son. You feel that you are unable to homeschool him so you are sending him to school. You are doing the best thing for him. Circumstances were different 12 years ago. Please don't be so hard on yourself.

I'm not a home ed-er but I sympathise with "am I doing my best for my child ".
Maybe you need a refresh of your approach- no idea what it was before but assuming online resources and sports options even better now.
Good luck.

Do you want to home educate him as well?
Or are you burned out by having done it before?

It's so hard when you can see your children aren't happy in a situation but, for whatever reason, it's not easy to remove them from it

I never put my others in till age 9. No pre school either..my eldest son is autistic and was violent.so the 8 yr old had to go at 4 to keep out of the house...no violence now.all calm.

I would of home ed the youngest ,but the eldest hasn't been in school since 12. Which was why the youngest had to go...I don't know if I'm making sense...

This school is lovely.fanastic teachers.but my boy is saying every morning I don't want to go..I feel like I would be throwing it back in the teachers faces if I took him out..and what if my son is just a tricky customer and being home ed didn't make him happier.i wouldn't be able to get the school place back

I'm glad your eldest's behaviour has improved. Only speculation here but he will still need a lot of focus and attention. Which may not be positive for your youngest.
My dd wasn't keen on school but there are different strategies you can try. She's an only and I felt needed the social access you get at school.

Fast asleep..yes with a 10 yr age gap,mine is like an only,and that worries me too..is yr dd still in school?

Yes she is. She is thriving and lives it. She was a school refuser at Reception and Year 1 but with the school's help we got there.
