God what do I do with my poor DS?

[inappropriatelyemployed]

He couldn't get to school at all today. He has only been going in for part of the day with me. He was wailing and crying about putting his uniform on and how he can't cope.

Where do we go from here? His third school. One period of HE already. School will do whatever they can but he can't cope and I worry I am damaging his mental health.

He finds it so hard to explain how he feels but he can';t cope with kids at school. We went to a special school to look around yesterday and he wouldn't look in the classes and got visibly stressed out at a glimpse of a child in a far off corridor.

What do you do?? CAMHS? HE? This can't go on.

I shall just have to be your undermining deputy then!

I'll be the executive head then.

I can feel a multiple-job share coming on ...

Doh, grrrr,. I should have thought of that!!

Agh damn it. Why don't we just give the roles to our kids with a bit of guidance now and then. They can run the school, set the curriculum, rund the budget, write the IEPs.

Bet they'd do a fantastic job too, and even if it won't be perfect, they've hardly got much competition have they?

Multiple job share!
Great idea.
I will do Thursdays.
I will bring cakes.
Sorted.

That would be a massive improvement on people setting targets for them to be met by provision kids don't want or need.

Have I mentioned I will bring cake?
I feel this is important and my input is not being respected.
:)

Have I mentioned that I can eat cake?

I feel this is important too - especially when it is washed down by classy bottles of cider!!

Don't you work with people who have self-esteem issues Polter?

You can answer the door when the LA visit.

So the classroom must have a sunny conservatory where the 'management' can drink cider and eat cake?

Yes. The kids can make those too I'm sure after a number of lessons.

Cider!?
Well, ok.
But only if I can bring my Lambrusco with the screw top!
I feel I must point out at this point that i will not - as it goes against deeply held beliefs - make cake with vegetables in.
It's just wrong.
But i make flapjacks you would sell your grandma for :)

Oh no. Our kids won't have self-esteem issues ANY MORE. It's those poor downtrodden LA folk who have suddenly decided they need to monitor our school like they've never monitored their own.

Biscuits. That's about the best I can offer I'm afraid, but they are rather good. Scones too.

Ds can run the martial arts class - he has a black belt y'know .

Yes. Beyond redemption Polt

Badvoc You can bring whatever you want. This is an INCLUSIVE school.

Can we be a Jedi faith school?
