Nah! just that when I raised a bullying incident all sorts of spurious behaviour problems were raised.So we went ballistic. Never been told before the meeting - to protect our little darling apparently. We referred to his last teacher report of 22 April saying no problems - but the problem was with other teachers apparently (didn't know he had any other teachers - but there you go thay always pull something out the bag). We asked for a specific incident, and was told October LAST YEAR!
Don't recognise he's gifted in any way - doesn't show up in maths & english or science, yet he is leaps and bounds ahead on the more esoteric/theoretical stuff that isn't handled at Junior School. (When he talked about Kepler's discovery of elliptical orbits teacher was rather proud that he himself didn't know anything about kepler - belittles my boy's knowledge, and beggars belief. I would have though the best response would be "oh really, would you like to tell the class so we can all learn something")
It is a private school as he was underachieving in state (problems you can read about elsewhere if you can be bothered) and I am making �loads of sacrifices to put him through.
Just that for half the cost I could have him home tutored for specialist stuff and get him out and about doing the stuff he's really interested in - art/science/travel.Would work if I could find a local group
