hi, my son has had a EHCP since he was 7 years old. when he was 15 and at secondry dchool he hated it, he was bullied, came home covered in bruises, and the school did nothing, he was diagnoised with short term memorie, he spells words as the sound, and finds maths very hard, i took him out of school, had a meeting with the education woman amd others, sat at a big round table told them i sas taking him out ; which i did under section 7 of the education law. it makes ,me laugh, they didnt like it, did you know if your child has a EHCP the school gets extra money for them? oh yes they get them a T,A but they are shared out, he is now in collage, he loves it, doing a mechanics course for 3 years, also taking his gcses in english and maths, went to hus EHCP meeting last week to be told he is doing really well 100% attendence and passing all hiscourse work, i am so proud of him, and to be told that i had done a amazing job home schooling him made me feel proud too, what i wanted to say is that if
your child is unhappy at school and it is seriously affecting them, dont be put off with what they tell you, ANYONE can home school their child, you dont need to have to have a degree, i disvovered so long as you encouragh your child to read and write, well in his case he spells things as the sound, face it, the english language is hard as we have so many words that are spelt are the same but spelt differently ---example where, were wear, my son is a visual learner, he now knows how to take a wheel of a car, do the wheel balancing, do somthing with a cambelt (,dont ask,) all with passing and other car body parts, i dont know i only know how to drive one, to see him so happy and confident makes me feel happy too/
