fed up with my sons school

[karla5]

need to rant i am sick fed up of my sons school he suffers from aspbergers and they dont seem to either care or understand his needs.The past few days he has come home in tears been kept in a break time for not finishing his work. though he says he cant do the work,every day is just a nightmare dosent want to go to school wants to go on strike like the nursery he says. seen the teacher about it today and she said i suggest you take off his cotton wool trousers and jacket before he comes to school i am livid

Hi Karla

I'm not surprised you feel livid. Aside from anything else, the teacher's sarcastic comment about cotton wool trousers and jacket is entirely inappropriate and unprofessional. I have to go out now, but will pick up this thread later and see if anyone else has been able to help you.

Karla5 - I am incensed! How dare she say that to you? She obviously has no understanding of Asperger's! Cheeky cow!

no my son is in primary two of a mainstream school

sorry primary3 will be 8 in september

SENCo or Head Teacher - I am still angry - grrrrr!

educational psychologist is a waste of time he has too many clients met my son once while he was in nursery never had a conversation with him but comes to the review meetings and tells me how i'm going wrong i just feel that yes i will be concerned about my son there is nothing worse than a child dreading and fretting about going to school

What does the Ed Psych say you are doing wrong????

perfect example of what i'm doing wrong i was concerned about my sons reading and at the meeting voiced this the ed psyche said well van gouch didnt always draw pictures for his mother

Surely if he has been diagnosed with aspergers there must be some system and support set up in place for him? Does his teachers have this this information with targets etc?

school is terrible i want him out but there is nowhere else just makes me so down and so angry why does special needs mean more work

What have they set up gor him. I understand that they should have targets etc and he should have a senco to help.

he has an iep but is less than useless

You need to have a meeting with the senco to discuss his iep. Dont know much about aspergers but who has if anyone been "supporting" him up till now? Are the school accepting he has aspergers? They sound useless.

we used to have an auxillary who helped my son but after a year she was becoming scary wanted to take him on holiday buying him clothes and magazines so the school became aware and after a meeting decided to drop her since then things have gone down hill for instance got a phone call yesterday to say that they neede to discuss his medication as he also has epilepsy they've never asked me for any more details in 4 years
