More problems at school- sorry!!!!

[PeachyPlumPudding]

Tricky situation with the school (another one- sigh!!), wondered if anyone knew where we stood?

As you all now by now (sorry!), Sam attacks Stirling terrible at home. Well the last few days Sirling has been coming home badl;y scratched, bruised, bite marks on his head. He assured me it was the fault of a friend, but when I complained they investigated and it turns out- what a surprise- it's Sam doing it at lunchtime. So, as far as they can see, it's my problem. Is it? At lunchtime? Sam's teacher is apaprently unaware of what's going on (she is avoiding me over the visual timetable issue ), and no-one will discuss it. What now? I counted 40 marks on him this morning, some scratch amrks being strangulation apparently (again) and his face was badly bitten.

Just no idea what to do. No-one will listen, no-one gives a damn as long as the boys don't do it in front of anyone.

Have tried to contact SS again RE holiday club, but they're still ignoring my calls despite their sending me a latter asking me to get in touch.

sorry i would think this was a school problem,as when they are at school they are their responsibilites i should think.Harass the school,go higher if need be cause im sure if this were 2 other kids doing it to each other it wouldnt be ok then !!!

No you're right there, Stirling bit another child a couple of times (definitely NOT Ok!) and we were hauled right up about it!

oh this is so not one (what;s the visual timetable situation). A letter of complaint to the LEA? The fact that Stirling is Sam's brother does not make it acceptable that he is hurt (and ds1 goes through fazes where he goes for ds2 in particular, sometimes ds3 as well). I deal with that at home, as I;m sure you do, so the shcool should deal with it at school.

school should be dealing with it
as it is on their premises*
demand to see headteacher
ask if playtimes, your ds' can be kept apart
hope it gets sorted

I agree with everyone else. How on earth can the school expect you to deal with it if you are not physically there??? Stirling deserves the same level of protection at school as any other child.

Does the phrase 'in loco parentis' mean anything to the morons at your dss's school?

I think I am going to have to go in tomorrow. Dh had a bit of a go today- Stirling was told off for biting and Dh pointed out that if they got their bullying situation out of control they might not have such problems developing- he's right, Stirling never did it before.

The visual timetable situation is that they won't provide one for Sam because A) she can't get her head round what it is and B) it costs. let's just say the surplus last year would but half my house.

How much do they think a visual timetable would cost???? Ds1's whole class had one last year. It was a piece of card with some digital photos stuck on it. Even his individual one was just a strip of laminated card with some symbols velcroed on to it!
