No, he's not decking statemented. He has a statement, and if you call him statemented one more time you'll be lobotomised!

uh oh..............your reputation is showing

now now... they're not lobotomised... they've had a lobotomy...

It is irritating, I'll grant you though. I think it makes someone sound like less of a person and more of a statistic. "He has a statement" is much better.

Statemented always reminds me of 'sectioned.' But it's only a word...

Yes it does sound alongs the lines of sectioned and it irritates me when the HT says it is good that he is going to be "statemented" ugh!

Mind you a while back when I told one of my friends (well ex friend) that I was looking into seeing someone about DS issues. I had the "but that will give him a label and emphasise something is wrong with him!" I gave her one of my "looks" and told her so does Robinsons Jam and they have done alright for themselves.

I think I prefer there is a statement about him.

Failing that, I'm very tempted to call it a statement of educational rights.
