Warning: this is a whingy thread. I feel the need to put this as since I saw mention a couple of weeks ago that some people object to others' 'whinging on MN', (which I thought was rather judgemental because we can't all be smiley/happy all the time and why the hell shouldn't we be able to have a rant/receive advice from the majority who DO care?), I feel somewhat self-conscious about whinging. But people who only want smiley/happy probably shouldn't click on an SN thread anyway... or the depressed threads or whatever..
So [deep breath], DS, age nearly 6, Y1 in mainstream, has been really obnoxious again.. still won't do any work, only wants to play, kicked his one-to-one when she tried to insist he co-operate with some work. This has been going on nearly 2 weeks now and they seem a very long 2 weeks... (and probably more so for the one-to-one) but today she has written in his book that in her opinion DS 'needs a nursery environment where he can learn through play'. Now maybe it's just because I am pissed off [ah that's better, yes I'M PISSED OFF.. [ANGRY] [ANGRY]) and stressed with the situation in general (WHY can't he just behave! It's not as if he CAN'T.. he WAS doing so well, in spite of all the SN).. but isn't that something of a hasty judgement to make after only 2 weeks of bad behaviour, esp when just last month we all sat at his annual review in school and marvelled at his progress and ability to partake in adapted versions of what all the rest of the class were doing.. moreover was acheiving, in some areas (esp practical maths) at something like an appropriate level for his age? And suddenly he needs a nursery environment???!
I also asked in the book y/day if we could come in a discuss the situation with whoever (of the appropriate staff) if available, eg class teacher, one-to-one, Senco(s).. not all of them, obviously, but one or ANY of them! All I get is a message back saying 'if you want to see the Senco it will have to be after half term...' !
Mrs D, the one-to-one has been great all the while Alex was co-operating.. now suddenly, I am getting some very negative vibes.. or maybe I am just over reacting. Am I over reacting?
I had also written several messages asking if they might contact the outreach worker from a local special school who is there to advise in these situations (and already has previously). No response to these questions.. so y/day I phoned her myself and left a message.. wrote that in his book (that I was waiting for her to get back to me) and I am wondering whether school think that that was the wrong thing for me to do... but I had been told by the Outreach lady that I could ring any time I had concerns... and school hadn't done it!!
I just feel so 
, probably more at 'the situation' than anyone specific. And I am imagining, more than knowing that they are all thinking he should be in special school (bugger Radio bloody 5). If he needs special school, he needs special school.. his social abilities were the reason we tried mainstream in the first place and all his social 'graces' seem to have gone to hell anyway!... but surely we shouldn't be thinking along these lines after just 2 weeks of obnoxiousness??
Arrrrrggh..
Thank you for the vent.. and sorry for the whinge (except I'm not... 
)
Bloody kids.
Bloody schools.
Pah!!
