Just had a meeting with Ds's school - why do I feel like an 8 year old again??

I really honestly do. There were two teachers (one I'd never met) and a senco, as he has been off this term because of much tiredness (and it's done him a lot of good!)

I wasn't sure about dereg.ing or giving it another try in the Autumn...so they said come up and we'll discuss a schedule of re-integration, to support him back into the whole thing or he'll find it a big shock.

All well and good, but I sat there being pretty much ignored, while they discussed among themselves a schedule of mornings and afternoons during the next few weeks when he could go and join in. (He was in with his old class during this meeting)

They have got him down for between two and four sessions a week till the end of term.
This would not be so bad except that as I told them, we are currently moving house and this is proving a big deal for Ds already. Starting school again at this juncture is possibly really a bad idea.

They probably think I am making excuse after excuse, am thick, have no concept of sticking at things etc etc... but although I nodded a lot and tried to look enthusiastic, I still felt herded and bulldozed into agreeing to somthing I am not sure is right for him.

I said I would see how he got on and we could review it as we go, but they were talking to me like I didn't have a clue and school was right and I was wrong etc.

He had a nice time seeing his lickle friends, lots of hugging and boy -bonding but afterwards he said 'Is that it, I really never want to come here again'.
I was amazed as I thought he was loving it.

Maybe he will feel better about it when he ha s had a sleep tonight. I just feel more convinced that school is something I never did, and never will, feel comfortable with. They were so bossy!

Thanks for reading...
