Well I'm not going to be able to share any ideas about making this sort of thing a success. We had come up with some ideas to make changes (including asking if he could attend at different times to try the topic/ inquiry type stuff instead of the basic skills work next term) but I never got a chance to ask. It seems someone from the school has read what I've posted on here and they've taken offense and asked us to leave when we arrived yesterday morning, no discussion - trial terminated, thanks for coming, don't let the door hit you in the a** on the way out.
It would have been nice if they'd given us a call instead of us driving for an hour, arriving ready for the school day and having to leave again.
Aside from the shock at the suddenness of it all we're feeling like we've had a near miss if this is the usual management style, so we're glad it's ended before DS was emotionally invested in any friendships.
Now we need to come up with another plan!
