My dd is going into yr6 (she's 10 1/2). The school is REALLY not meeting her SEN or her medical problems appropriately, and I KNOW she would learn much, much more at home with me. I was going to de-register her in September/ October time. School are not putting her in for her yr6 SATS, setting her apart from the other pupils to start with. (She would have problems attaining a reasonable level on the yr2 SATS IMO). Thing is, she now seems very enthusiastic about going beck, despite the fact that even she knows there is MUCH wrong with her schooling, she wants to be with her friends. Another problem is that ds1 REALLY needs school, enjoys it too much, so she would have to go into the playground of her school twice a day every day, and I think she would start to miss her school friends quite quickly. She will spend the next year of her education being completely left behind by her peers, and won't learn half the things she could at home, where I can also look after her medical problems much more responsibly than the school are. Do I send her back and let the stuff that was happening before continue, with her getting upset again by it all, do I de-register her when she wants to be there with her friends, and how do I manage to socialise her if I do HE her, on a very limited budget, within school hours due to ds1 & ds2 and relying on public transport as I am unable to drive (epilepsy). WHAT DO I DO??!!
