silly idea but do you think we should ask mn hq

[2shoes]

for permission to have a swap thread on here(or a give thread.
so often you have something that you just want to rehome. but you want it to go to a child with sn iynwim.......

?????????

think its a great idea :)

I third that - great idea, 2shoes

I think it's a fab idea. We should agree that it isn't sales though. Donations/swaps only.

Great idea .

Brilliant Idea, can we do children too!!

Who wants mine?

Don't know melted... how many tantrums a day do yours have??

Sorry 2shoes... didn't mean to hijcack, just nice to see the funny side of something for the first time this week. Will behave myself now .

you can have mine, no swap though

Great idea!

not sales as I doubt mn would allow ans it could be open for all sorts of hassle

OOOOO swapshop! good idea.

I have emailed MN HQ with a link to this thread.

there are for sale boards on here for other stuff so don't see why a sn one wouldn't be possible. Swap shop's a good idea.

as an aside, the sn:education board's not getting much traffic, some posts go unanswered, does anyone think it would be worth putting it back with sn:children?

Swapshop a great idea.

Bigcar - I had wondered the same thing about sn:education. The lines are so blurred anyway sometimes. And I have seen posts there which I am sure would benefit from great advice from people on here with very few answers.

as a relative novice I never knew that there was a SN:education board so have never used it- always look on the main board for info... oops. swap shop sounds like a great idea. I have a makaton core vocab book 1 spare if anyone wants it!

SKitUK have a swap/for sale board and it works really well, i think it would work here too now that there is the inbox thing.

as bigcar says there are other for sale boards here so it shouldnt be a problem and its a wee bit more personal than ebay

bigcar, I think imo there is a lot of confusion already about SEN not always being sn, wouldn't that just add to it?(I ask as some one who has never gone into the SEN topic)

just went and had a nose, it seemed a good topic on it's own iynwim, but oddly placed, I wonder ti fit would be better placed amongst the sn topics? or would that stop people from posting......

2shoes you're right, but there is a SN education board here under the SN section and also a SEN section of the education board so I think your concern would probably be covered there. It just seems a shame that the SN education section on the SN board doesn't get the same attention that the SN children section gets but has pretty much the same content. It's just a thought

oh do you mean the sn one, sorry I thought you meant the SEN one.
I think the same thing has happened with the teens one, much as I wanted it, It isn't used much, a thread on here with teen in title would probably work better,

2shoes, took me ages to realise there were 2 different ones I thought threads were disappearing at one stage

tbh I have never been in any off the other sn topics apart from teens.

bump

I would prefer there not to be a for sale SN board, (as opposed to swaps, donations or FFP) as it could lead to nastiness if a transaction goes pearshaped for any reason. despite the best intentions of all, things break/go astray in the post on occasion..
