DS is 9, he has AS. He has a statement. He goes to MS school for 3 hours aday (2 hours of which he has 1:1), I collect him at lunch time and he's at home for the afternoon. This is a voluntary arrangement that I agrred to short term (although its now been going on for 2 terms) to try and help the school manage DS better.
He's had a bad week this week. He was exluded for half aday on Wednesday morning as he arrived at school to find his teacher wasn't there (they had a supply). He left the classroom and ran around the field.
Today when I went to collect him I was told that he had another bad morning, that he had spent the second part of the morning roaming the corridores and being rude to teachers. The reason for this, he says, is that his 1:1 changed his time table without telling him (you've probably gathered he's not too good with change!).
The SENCO came out and asked for a word and told me that because of his behaviour this morning, he was being excluded for 1 day, and due to the fact he is only in for half a day that this would be for Monday and Tuesday mornings (so effectively 2 of his school days).
AIBU being cross about this. Not the fact he's been excluded (although Im cross about that too), but the fact that he's being kept off for 2 days on a 1 day exclusion. He's in school for so little time as it is. I'm minded (although wouldn't do it to DS) to tell them they can have him on Monday and Tuesday afternoon!
