Hi Chris1234
Fortunately his 'relief' teacher only has him on a Tuesday - basically she relieves his regular teacher one day a week as she is also head of the year group so gets time out of class to carry out her other duties. It is just my rotten luck that of the few relief teachers there are in the school we get her and we don't have a good history with her at all.
I emailed his regular teacher this morning and hopefully she will be a bit more sympathetic. I love the idea that you guys have school counselor's - nothing like that here.
I also going to look into 'One day school' as specially school that gifted kids can go to one day of the week to give them GT experiences and peers. I've never used it to date because school was doing just fine but know I think I will see if they operate on a Tuesday and then I may be able to get him away from a potentially toxic situation.
So much to do - so little time. Countdown is on to giving up work and then hopefully I can volunteer to support him in class if need be.
I'm curious about ds10 - is it organisation type problems that they need to have more of middle school? We have 2 more years (maybe if we don't move first) of this school but I'm not looking forward to the next step up.
Well its the beginning of the day - they have school 'fun' sports today so lots of frustrations to come. Will so look forward to 3pm!
