parents evening no communication!

[sarah876]

went to my son's parents evening tonight. He has AS but is in mainsteam school. Had the usual he is so capable (secondary school) but doesn't apply himself! Got to the science teacher who gave me the he doesn't do he's homework , gets distracted etc etc to then suddenly realise he didn't have a clue that he had been diagnosed last year with Asperger's syndrome. Why is it their so bloody clueless?
It worries me that they have so little knowledge. Wrote to he;s SN teacher to ask for advice...I see him walking from school with nothing!

Ime you have to tell every teacher individually about your child's SN.

(not at dd's secondary, but then they are rather outstanding on pastoral)

Same problem at dd2's school she has adhd I have told her teachers at parents evenings because they don't read the information about pupils, now shes in s3 she's settled down as the kids who wind her up aren't in most classes however one teacher refuses to believe she has it and I have just found out this yesterday. The kids are constantly pushing her in this particular class but she is the one who reacts and is getting constant punishments, I'm now having to phone up about this teacher as dd2 lost it with her and told her she hadn't listened to a word I said at parents evening and she told dd2 that no she didn't have the adhd,she was threatened to be put out of her class all together by her head of year who just blames dd2.
