I am on here to stop myself from pinging off an angry rant to school. DS came home tonight and he has a detention for non completion of homework. He's dyslexic and has been trialing some new dication software that for the life of me would not print or email over the weekend, so I wrote as much in HD and was able to email the homework to his teacher just before end of play at school.
DS comes in through the door furious and upset, shouting blue murder at everyone about it. He finds written work incredibly frustrating and we have been actively encouraged by school to investigate alternative methods of recording his written work. DS is even more mad at his dyslexia and has just spen he last 20 mins crying, now in front of the TV chilling with food and drink.
School have always said they are happy to work with us to make it work, but one teacher seems not to have got the memo. This is a crucial time for him and he loves school, if he'd got a detention for rudeness, no equipment, bad behavior I'd have no issue with it, but to pick on written work, it's like 2 steps forward 20 steps back.
Shall I ping off a considered email about it all?
