So yesterday my little dudes teacher tells me AGAIN....my son had a bad day...He was sent to the principals office because he was teasing other kids and threw the one boys hat into the plants! For crying out loud....he is only 4 yrs old!
Anyway....she told me she told him that if he doesnt stop bothering the other kids after they said stop, he is being a bully! My son was in tears 3 times yesterday, saying he is not a bully and he has no friends, exct. It felt to me that she is using him as an example for how not to behave! So this morning he was tearfull, not wanting to go to school....begging me. I went to speak to the principal, myself being in tears, because my son is having such a hard time in school with all his SI problems and auditory issues!
So Principal tells me she thinks his current school is to big and overwhelming for him to cope! That he is having a hard time finctioning in class! She then said she is willing to move him to gr 000 now because he is going to repeat gr 00 anyway next year....She said she will also be ok with the idea to get a facilitator to help him in class....
So I phoned, searched, stressed alot this whole day....Trying to find a place who provides this kind of assistance.
A wonderfull young girl who is busy studying psychology phoned me and said she has 3 yrs experience in assisting young kids at an autism school....I was so happy, because in our country there is no such thing as Special Education or assistance in schools!
There is a remedial school in our town, but it will take 1 hour drive in morning and afternoon to go to and fetch my son everyday...and its impossible with my difficult child being in another school.
We are willing to pay R8000 each month for my sons school and facilitator!!!!
When I went to fetch my son, his teacher says, no, she doesnt think this is a good idea, that it will only make him dependent and cause more harm than good....Also not to move him to gr 000, to much of an adjustment, with only 3 months school left this yr!!!!!She was so upset with me, because I send her a tough email asking her to try and go gently on my son and telling her that if he could be better, he would.....
She keeps on giving me negative feedback...but EVERY step I take to try and make things better, she blocks!!!!! Giving no other alternative!!!!!!
