Heartbreaking - have tissues ready

[janh]

Find it hard to believe this story.

How could a school behave like this?

He doesn't have dyslexia (that's a difficulty) he has a learning disability. The old and very horrible term for it was retarded.

It is a very common story if he was autistic. That's why I thought we'd have to HE, and why I'm so sutnned it has worked at school. (fingers crossed so far)

hate the R word

Thanks, I completely misunderstood this. What seems really wrong is to accept him in the school with whatever disabilities he has, and yet exclude him. If they felt they couldn't cope with his disabilities, they should not have him there.

they're not allowed to refuse him tinyfeet. this happens all the time - children are driven out of school.

dont we know it! I will give you their address tinyfeet you can hit the headmaster for me......

So sad. It really just takes one good teacher to speak up for these students and take a special interest. It's hard to believe that all the teachers/adults in the school could let this go on.

Jimjams, I get the feeling it will be a good school for him, so fingers crossed. I am so pleased that your school has worked out for you and ds .

This is a really horrible storydisgusting.
It broke my heart when I read it yesterday.

Hope the headmaster/mistress will be sacked for discrimation and the LEA pulverised.
