Dd1 is 14 and ds is 12. They both attend the local secondary school.
They both do well at school and are both on or above their targets. (I'm not boasting, this is relevant information)
My income is very low and so they receive free school meals.
On Friday they were both withdrawn from class at different times to speak with the school 'Progression Manager' Several other children were also removed to speak with him too.
They were informed that as they are on free school meals they were being monitored to see if they might need extra help with their work.
Basically there is an assumption that because they're from a poor family they might be a bit thick!!
I'm stunned that they are linking poverty with poor intellect!!
