The constant grumbles about 'the system' are so naive. I find it quite absurd that she has a child that is clearly not getting much out of education and is highly disruptive and has plenty of cash to find a private set up yet she allows it all to continue as he wants to see his mates. If he's always excluded from class and has a different timetable then he's not really seeing much of them anyway is he?
Spot on! It just doesn’t make sense
I genuinely believe that she’s happy to play permissive parent, and campaign for H’s preference to stay in mainstream, because she’s a snob and she wants him to stay in mainstream too.
She’s a
massive snob. It starts with her insistence on high end brands for all of her household stuff, and it ends with her not wanting her child to attend a PRU or SEN school.
She says she regrets the school SENCO took H off the SEN register in year 5*, but I bet she was happy at the time not to have “a SEN child”. She was happy to not pursue a diagnosis when he was much younger, and was only prepared to accept the stigma of a diagnosis when she realised she needed it for certain things. She’s still too snobby to be open about what the diagnosis is. If one of the facets of your Insta is to offload about your child’s neurodivergence, the
least you can do is say what it is.
* She said this happened because the SENCO wanted to make their stats look better. What on
earth does she mean? Considering every kid on the SEN register provides the school with extra funding from the local authority, it simply doesn’t make sense, from a financial perspective if nothing else, that a school would bump kids off the list
