To top off ds's not so good day, I have presented him with worms

[Thecarrotcake]

And veg ( and some chicken) for tea.. He is currently sifting through said worms ( noodles).. Avoiding the veg and picking out the chicken.

I am a terrible mother.. Oh and dinner was 10 minutes early!! Monday is pasta day ( has to be a quick dinner due to our Monday evenings).

I'm in the dog house!

Oh and he got told off for smiling because he had a test score of 100% in one of his subjects.. And one of the other pupils didn't like it.

( I do know he does big smiling but even so!) I am not a happy mummy about it

Got told off for smiling!!!!!! FFS. That is really crap. I would not be a happy mummy either.

Dinner 10 mins early! - I am in awe.

told off for smiling? i would not be happy either.

How dare he feel proud of himself! He has SN FFS! He should meekly accept everything that puts him at a disadvantage and keep his successes to himself in case a NT child feels inferior!

Well that's the message I've been getting at DD's school anyway.

Lol - I was going to recommend some treatment for them! [bsmile]
We are having worms ourself tonight (stir fry) but luckily ds not too fussy.
FFS about the smiling [bbiscuit]- well done to ds I say![bgrin]
Am liking the new smileys - can you tell [bwink]

:)

Thanks I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd be narked at the smiling thing!

Being told off for showing an appropriate emotion? Are we on a parallel universe or something?
I'm with Dame on the thread title, it made me feel itchy - and not in a good place.

:) sorry about the title ( actually you just made me laugh .. But in a nice way).

I know.. I spend so much of my time teaching ds emotions.. And appropraite behaviour for those emotions.. I'm pleased he smiled..he was happy and proud of himself!
I can't be bothered with this school any more.. All teachers are supposed to know about ds.. Yet they just don't seem to understand at all... I believe they should attend their own speech and communication groups ( which btw are utterly useless).

ds likes worms (noodles !) and eats them with his fingers
100% is that all !! and smiling as well !!

:).. I did pass on the 'well dones' in an edited way ... he smiled again.

tbh.. all he had to do in the test was put down facts, he likes facts and it doesn't suprise me he aced the test... but he struggles with so much in everything else that he deserves to be top at bloody something.

Even if he had danced about the room flapping and told everyone else they were thick... the teacher should have guided him into more socially appropraite behaviour...

the more I think about this the more angry I get! ( ".. walk away from it... tis not a battle worth it" mantra).

No- on a serious note,I would be angry too- would it be worth having a quiet word with the teacher ?

I think I'll drop a note into the SENCO, it sencos job to make sure all staff are aware of DS's SN and to make sure they know what they are doing with him.

and I'll ask for a response in writing.. because that helps me prove that the school aren't actually meeting Ds's needs abiet in a small way.. but will help with the evidence gathering..
( and hopefully help with my appeal for asd school).

good idea

Ahhh Z .. I didn't see your post!

Thank you I'll pass it on to ds.

( I think we all know that this is ALL ds's issue and that his peers can show whatever emotions they like however!).
