Child constantly removed from class

[CornwallMamma]

My son is in year 9 at secondary school. Last year he was removed from lessons 50 times during the school year. Mostly he is over talkative, occasionally backchatting teachers. He’s disruptive but not to the point of violence or anything really bad. Mostly he just can’t concentrate in lessons.
the school have assessed ADHD and concluded that actually he is very bright and not ADHD.
Apart from the lesson removals, which are obviously a concern, the schools policy is that is a child is removed from class they then have to sit in ‘reset’ for the next lesson, effectively missing the next lesson too.
Has anyone come across a school that does this?
I’m arguing that it is an incentive, not a punishment, for kids who don’t want to be in school. And it isn’t proper learning!

Right to Choose does apply to ADHD assessments for children (in England, at least), however, there is a serious medication shortage at the moment (if medication is indicated).

I noticed my child had ADHD during the Covid lockdowns when I watched her repeatedly fail.to engage with online learning (at least I was pretty sure, and it was confirmed about 6 months later). There is no way she'd have that diagnosis without me looking into it. She was pretty compliant at primary. A little less so at secondary, but girls feel more pressure to fit in and behave, often, than boys do.

She's had ONE episode of being removed from class in 3.5 terms of secondary, hopefully because her needs are broadly met (she does have an EHCP and the school is understanding of children who struggle - there's no way a child would be removed 50 times and nothing more done).

“Over talkative and occasionally back chatting teachers”

Respectfully, if this is your response to your child’s persistent low level disruption In class, then I think the answers to his behaviour lie very much closer to home than you seem to think they do.
