School 1-0-Government rules.

My son was asked what he would like to do when he was older and that morning as he was coming to school he saw a driving instructor car so he said he wanted to do that. Luckily this guy is a Parent Governor and agreed to have a chat to him as long as we thought it was ok so of course school wanted to boost his confidence and give him a reward. The guy has seen him a few times-once a week for the past few weeks and we thought that he was seeing him while others went out to play and that the first chat we knew he had with him was in the morning while others did maths and english but we thought that would be the only time he would disturb his lessons. Last week the guy wanted to have a quick chat with us as we had never me him and we suddenly realised that he was actually being taken out of his english lesson to see this guy! This rightly concerned us-he has learning difficulties, is dyslexic and is about 3 years behind in english on some levels-he still doesn't put spaces in between his words and yep he is 10! then the other day we found out that he didn't come on the usual day he came on a different day-you should never change a child's routine who has ADHD-it doesn't sit well. To top it all he told us that he will be going out in his driving car while there s a person taking a driving lesson! Now this is where it gets ironic-Kaine can't go on a school trip this Monday even though he will have one to one support because they see him as too risky to keep safe..yet they are allowing him to sit in a moving car with 2 people in the front who he practically doesn't know and he has to sit in silence for an hour and not be silly-these people have no experience of what Kaine is like behaviour wise-what happens if he messes about, he can put people in danger but the real kicker is they think it is ok! over my dead body-if school say he can go driving then he can go on a bluddy school trip with people that know what he's like-think they have over stepped the mark here and guess what-no one asked us if he was allowed to be taken out of school with 2 people and one of them will be a total stranger-do they think I wouldn't mind because I want him to have a nice time-get real! Kaine knows that each time he sees the guy he is missing the lesson, yes a vital lesson that the Government declare as one of the vital lessons that a child should not miss especially against a chat with a guy to learn about driving and how to be responsible whilst driving! I appreciate that we are all trying to boost his confidence but when it comes to missing his education then tuff-my foot is placed firmly on the ground and right in the middle of it all-yep they will see me as the bad person as I am declining Kaine of something but I don't give a hoot now. If I went to the education authority and told them what was happening then I know there would be heads rolling. Kaine is at school to learn and he can miss his dinner play or morning play or music or games or physical education but he will not be missing maths or english as far as I am concerned and he will definitely not be going for a ride in a car with people who have no idea how to sort Kaine out if he reacts! Are people so blind with making Kaine happy that they forget that Kaine is manipulating them and that he needs help with school work more than he needs to be in a car playing at being a driving instructor when he doesn't care whether he wants to be one or not! The week before he wanted to be a formula one driver, a policeman, a car mechanic! So naive and it isn't helping Kaine as when he gets to big school there will be no pussy footing around it it will be such a shock that it could cause more harm than good....... www.AnimalAgentz.com http://darkangel6976.stumbleupon.com
