TL;DR. Can you share your positive primary school experiences please? Where your children are thriving because of school? Where you've received great SEN support? Where the teachers have become part of community?
Basically I am surrounded by a lot of school negativity and as my son has SEN I need to fight for a space for him somewhere
....I'm beginning to lose the will and need to know it's (potentially) worth the fight.
My community has a lot of homeschoolers and due to my work timetable they are my main parenting friends.
So I've heard a lot of negativity re school.
Then all the parenting forums I follow have all these questions/negativity about schools.
I know a lot of primary school teachers who have stopped working in mainstream because they just found the working conditions really weren't conducive to what they wanted to do with the children.
I know a lot of this is "natural selection". A lot of people love school, but don't talk about it. The people whose children are enjoying school don't need to write a question/ rant about it on parenting forums. But I need to hear some of these positive experiences!
