Hi, just looking for some opinions/advice. My DS is 8. He has learning difficulties mainly effecting his language and literacy. We battled hard and got a place for him at an independent specialist school named on his statement. He is in a tutor group with three other boys who rage from 10-12 years old. The school takes boys only up to 16/17 so DS is the youngest. I accept that having come from an infant school (where he was kept a year below because if his SEN) to a senior school it is a big change. However he is being exposed to very explicit language on a daily basis, has been told his pets, family etc are going to die in terrible circumstances, called "gay" (with sexual descriptions as to why) been told "your my bitch and don't forget it" the list goes on. He hasn't been physically harmed (yet). I approached the school last term, but I am not sure they think it is any more serious than a vocabulary issue and "boys will be boys" and experiment with bad language etc, however DS is genuinely scared and upset and is changing from the little boy he was. am I over reacting?
What are your thoughts? I don't know what to do! Thanks! X
