Yesterday was fantastic
we went to long bay as a family and went
swimming and sun bathing it was relaxing and beautiful. we came home
and set up the family tent in theback garden, then we set up a makeshift campfire and roasted marshmallows as the sun was setting... It was Davine.
my kids worked together without fighting, played like friends then ate marshmallows till they were full.
I was so relaxed, it was a great day!
I contacted my local MP he kindly referred me back to the schools BOT as its up to the individual school to ensure they are following their charter.
Today is back to reality I have not heard from the RTLB at my eldest school so I have written the Board of trustees another another letter asking formally to set up a IEP meeting for the third time in writing (I have also asked to set up an IEP verbally numerous times.
does it seem I am moving in circles?
Maybe I should go public and talk with fair go or the Press but I worry that
my child would be exposed to bullying which could just add to the
overall problem.
Anyone else experiencing problems with their child's school or are other parents out their just giving up?

Hi Adele,
It's Lynne here again. I am glad that Monday was such a lovely day for you all; but sad that you now feel so downhearted by all the red tape.
When we had trouble with getting a particular school to set up an IEP we got hold of Special Ed and told them our concerns.
We outlined that we were worried about lack of contact from the school and that we insisted on a reader/writer for tests and exams along with a lot of other stuff.
He still had trouble understanding written work and felt totally stupid.
Although frustrated many times I will never give up helping my son.
I took my son out of school and now I am homeschooling him through Correspondence. We have hit bumps along the way but 'keep on trukin'
If you go public you could let the media know your concern about bullying and they may be able to interview you anonymously.
This could also open another avenue for the media to explore bullying as well. (another soap box of mine)
As parents of dyslexic children we are blessed to catch a glimpse of how their incredible minds work.
It is so important to support each other and our children so we know that we are in this together.
Take care,
Lynne
