New thread!
Same here... I skipped through them!I couldn’t even finish the stories…
There is support and there is pandering
This - thought the online tutoring fixed everything!Same here... I skipped through them!
I lost all respect when she used H for an AD!!
You can't cash in on his issues when it suits you Jess and then complain about hard you/he have it...
Jess would roll up to the meeting with Hugo the Builder and explain “I know he’s 35 but I am the only person that can advocate for him. I know he’s fucked your house up and shat on your patio, but you should finish your own building work (and pay him in full) because he is NeUroDIverSe”H is going to be a nightmare builder of the future… can you imagine telling him he hadn’t followed the drawings and something needed to be moved
I doubt he’s diagnosed with ODD. She’s very snobbish and resisted an autism diagnosis when he was younger, IIRC. She only went for a diagnosis now because she needed it to get him what she wanted. There’s too much stigma associated with something like ODD… she wouldn’t like that.Hugo eldest.
She spits venom when she talks about the school. There is a horrible undertone of aggression and makes me think how nasty she can perhaps be off camera. I would put money on his diagnosis being ODD so she must understand that presents to the outside world as a naughty child. I do believe he is not neurotypical so not taking away from that but there has got to be an element of understanding where the school etc come from.
She says she is articulate but says um constantly!
Yes plus the teachers can’t dedicate their time to one child, the idea that a teacher offered to come and meet her somewhere during holiday time to talk about it isn’t ‘cool’ it’s something the other parents don’t get and is far above and beyond what the bloke’s paid forWhat jess seems to be forgetting is there are 30 other children in a classroom with Hugo who should not have to put up with his throwing chairs and disrupting their learning. I wonder when she goes on about H's missed learning over the years whether she thinks about how much his classmates have missed due to his behaviour? I agree she is venomous when talking about the school which on the one hand really doesn't surprise me but on the other surely she realises at least one person from the school must follow her on Instagram? It just doesn't sit right with me and if the construction thing falls through (which I hope it doesn't) it will be interesting to see whether we a) hear about it and b) how she justifies H being thrown off it
I agree and the fact she doesn't grasp that he is going above and beyond his job is ridiculous. I also didn't like it when she was all "the head of year has a tendency to not be on H's side". Like he's a teacher he isnt supposed to be on sides and yes he can fight for your kid and what they're entitled to but he will still call him out on unacceptable behaviour! Having a diagnosis and label isn't an excuse for H to behave how he wants to at school- it might explain it but it sure as tit doesn't excuse it.Yes plus the teachers can’t dedicate their time to one child, the idea that a teacher offered to come and meet her somewhere during holiday time to talk about it isn’t ‘cool’ it’s something the other parents don’t get and is far above and beyond what the bloke’s paid for
Yes he’s got to look out for hundreds of kids well-being he’s not just there at her beck and call to spend as much time as she does advocating for her kid. The selfishness appalled me in those stories and the way she spoke about the football place! They caused damage by not being able to control her son!I agree and the fact she doesn't grasp that he is going above and beyond his job is ridiculous.
