I experienced this with my son while going through the primary to secondary school transition.IT WAS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!He was so unhappy at the first choice of school and the Special Educational Needs department was lacking compassion to those children with needs to say the least. We gave it a good shot after bouts of EXTREME crying/temper outbursts and full blown aggression/resistance to attend school. We persisted with the school for 4 months until the day that my son came out of school and said......." I don't trust them!". That spoke VOLUMES from a child with learning difficulties and a severe speech and language disorder! After a discussion from a very arrogant/non compassionate lead member of staff I took action and withdrew him from the heartless school. After 2 months of home tutoring and a frantic search for a school appropiately adapted to meet his differentiated academic and non academic needs including compassion/speech and language therapy/ social skills etc the goal was achieved. He is now fully happy in his new school environment, has less academic pressure but is strongly encouraged to achieve HIS personal best.... not just meet school targets. The right school has to be found, and your child knows when it's right! If they struggle than compassion/patience is needed. LISTEN to your child........... Sometimes a change is needed. Best wishes to all out there who are experiencing this sort of struggle, I know how extremely stressful it can get! xx Last edited by SD38; 01-10-2012 at 02:50 PM. |
