All of mine was personal and nasty. I became the bitch the school depicted me as as soon as I walked out the hearing door.
Nothing more satisfying than emailing the HT saying what a backstabbing amoral thick witted bell end he is.
Of course my relationship with the school has gone to shit but who cares.
Don't rise to it. The more personal it is, the more desperate they are. Why use cheap nasty tactics when you cold hard evidence? Because cold hard evidence is thin on the ground maybe?
I would love to belive in Karma. I think there's a possibility my toddler might end up in the same school. I have a bucket of one liners for when they come to me for help ( he's a whirlwind). They are not getting sweet FA input from me as it would be used against me. I couldn't care less if he struggles academically - that the least of his problems.
This is amazing learning curve. You have to learn a hard lesson in how low people will stoop and lie. But after its all done you become stronger. I will always remember now that my kids are never the centre of anything or the most important thing. Money is. Plus some people have massive egos and legue table rankings to protect.
I am already in my mind thinking when I would appeal for toddler. But it would be when I no chance of loosing. If he goes to mainstream that won't take long at all.
I am still seething every time I think about it. It really takes its toll. You just can't imagine. It's being on trail for a crime you didn't commit. Like someone assaulting you, then charging you with the original assault
