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.

Geometry at a push star :)

Trips to big open places with empty parks as all the other kids are at school and to the seaside.

Just mentioned the Yoda quote to DS - he immediately corrected me as I had managed to misquote Yoda! we are on to a winner with that one.

The force is strong in that one :)

Weaving is cross curricular. We can ignore Gove's distaste for arts and crafts, along with anything else that doesn't involve sitting in rows reciting stuff. (Because my boys don't need teaching how to memorise stuff - even DS2 is plainly accomplished, despite reciting it all back with b substituted for all the consonants)

Actually - DS2 demonstrated to me, yesterday, that he can read words that matter to him. Give him an new iPad app and he will hunt for the credits, no matter how the word "credits" is presented.

...you know what's at the sea side?
Ice creams!
And fish and chips.
Ds1 will be delighted with all this :)

And lots of birds. Enormous ones!

Owls.

And falcons.
Falconry!!
Yeah!

AND CIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

DS's first page on his power point for his AR:

"I hate dance". Can we opt out of that one?

I can do country dancing.
I do a mean scotch reel.
You can opt out of anything....
Except cake.

What about <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.com/imgres?sa=G&biw=1024&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=Ltin2AevzQFCrM:&imgrefurl=phillips.blogs.com/goc/2006/01/hippy_history.html&docid=dBiIjTL-mWJWCM&imgurl=phillips.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/15hippy1.jpg&w=374&h=561&ei=A_OLUbvRDKOb0QWM3YGQCQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=488&page=1&tbnh=192&tbnw=128&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&tx=98&ty=289" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this for staff uniforms???

noooo, I hope not...

I don't know who put it on there. I'm the girl dancing with the boy (my brother) after the nursery rhyme (my other two brothers).

WARNING This is the MNSN drunk thread

My eyes!!

Incidently that strange looking man is my dad, and the woman playing the piano accordian is my mum.

Von trapps a go-go!!

And the others on their are his east end class who were still hanging around at 15/16, and their girlfriends who bagged a free trip to disney provided they did a load of training.
