There's a little boy in my son's year who has done this. His birthday is in the last couple of weeks of August and he has some learning difficulties, so he's a year behind where he would be if they'd followed the system.

However, Nicola has spent the past 4 years spouting off about how bright Raven is, so this seems an odd choice. I can only assume that it's a financial decision based on being able to get funding.

I think she knows that outcomes for August borns are consistently not great compared with autumn born kids, even if they have no SEN. It could also be a funding issue, I suppose private schools don’t care how you play the system, as long as they get paid.

Not at our school a parent wanted to keep

Oh well, I just know at our school it is, we have a special needs child that the parents wanted to stay in nursery for an extra year and they were told by the dfe that If they do they will skip reception and go straight to year one (which luckily they’ve seen sense as reception is such an important year for them) ❤

How long ago was this? I deferred my autistic son who should have started school in 2019. My August born nephew deferred and he’s 9 now.

No, she’s a teaching assistant - she hasn’t done any teaching qualifications at all.

Not necessarily I'm a teaching assistant, level 3 and I teach alternative curriculum and multiple interventions 🤷‍♀️ though her house is bogging I hope she isn't planning on having other kids there

The gentle parenting group is savage, I commented on a post about race as in MY experience as a early years practioner/nursery nurse and childminder children learn negativity about race through socialisation or a learned response from home life this is paraphrased a little but oh how the vultures went for me, this one woman was telling me to check my facts, to read up on this and that.

So if you were wrong, what was the prevailing view amongst the group? I’d love to know.

Huh, looks like she’s hoping to her her Insta fame to monetise her home ed ideas. I doubt very much she’s going to share content for free.

Crowded market though - the Internet is bursting with mommy home ed blogs, especially Americans.

Is that the 'school' Damien us going to?
Because it's near my house 😭😭😭 I feel violated.
And no, I never even considered sending my daughter there 😂

That first meal on her stories looks like dog shit and cucumber sticks. What on earth is it?? How can she say their food has been good today??

And is it me, or in the last story, do the kids have more food on their plates than she does? No wonder she looks malnourished with portions like that.

Just caught up with it. So he was 18 months old and still completely reliant on breastmilk for nutrition and fluids? Wouldn’t really eat solids or drink from a bottle or cup? Well I can see why it would look pretty bad when you present at A&E with a starving and dehydrated toddler because your milk has dried up.

ETA: I’m sure there’s racism at play though, and the mother was painted as too neglectful to give her child solid food, rather than “brainwashed by breastfeeding obsessives on the internet”.
