Hi all,
When my child started in year 7 I joined the ptfa but I am wondering whether to stay as part of it.
To make it worse I’m the only one volunteering to do the refreshments for another year groups option evening in the week and I’ve organised a mini Easter raffle to raise money with another parent.
I feel like giving up and that the teachers will think what on earth is she doing here because my son has been a complete paid at school since January 😰 I don’t want anyone or myself to feel awkward because I am there and I am unsure whether to keep showing up and doing things to support the school.
This January and February hasn’t been great and been completely different from the start of year 7. It’s strange he does well in every lesson but one each day.
There is always an incident, a scuffle during lunch or him being distracted by someone each week.
This led to me being told he would go on report when he came back to school (Monday) after half term - this hasn’t happened this week because they say they have been short staffed and this afternoon he had three reminders in his lesson for answering back to a student who was calling him names and called his teacher a ‘fatty’ when he left.
it’s terrible. I have confiscated his electronics, have strong words but each week il get a message about him mucking about in a corridor or not paying attention at some point.
but all day and week apart from this he has been fantastic and no problems in other lessons.
They say he is wound up / distracted by others far to easy and he tell me he feels he is bullied and wants them to stop
at the moment he is in his room writing a apology letter.
I just don’t know what else to do!
im probs the last person the teachers want to come and get a cup of tea from right?
