  • The school move is back on

    so boo's last day is next friday at her school and she starts her new school after easter. She will be go for a few afternoons next week to get used to her new school.

    The new one she is going to is the same one her step brother goes to, so she will know someone there as well.

    After everything that happened last week with the accident at school and things that ive mentioned before, i just think its the right thing to do.

    The accident wasnt dealt with as well as it should have done without a doubt the head teacher has admitted that too, and has reprimanded the staff involved.

    Its just so hard, there are two stories boo is telling me one thing, the school is telling me another thing. As it stands though, i have to go with the story that bootsy is telling me, as a parent

    Then talking to her headteacher today, she said maybe the problem wasnt the school, or any school in fact and maybe bootsy had the problem. Because me and her dad split up when she was very young maybe she has both attachment and relationship issues and is slightly unstable within her home life i told her i didnt think she had either of those problems, that i didnt think she was unstable at all (she is the most stable child you could ever meet), but you never know maybe she has (with a hint of sarcasm), she said maybe she was jealous of her step brother and that's why she was acting out at home (which she doesnt). Then she went into whether she had a stable enough routine - her dad and i split up when she was 4 months old, i have been with my husband since she was 6 months old, this life is all shes ever known. Her routine is all she has ever known - its baffling!!

    Sounds to me like the school are trying to pass the buck back to your little one!
    When my eldest was little she got bullied by a group of kids, so badly that her hair started falling out. The school refused to do anything about it, and just said that my daughter was 'too sensitive' !!

    Needless to say, I moved her to another school as soon as possible!

    So I think you're doing the right thing, and well done!

        It sounds like you are doing just the right thing! I can't believe how much schools can try and shift the blame to either the parents or the kids themselves. Crying because there is school next day is a key sign that she is not happy there!
        I hope the new school suits her much better and they give her a nice friend to help her settle in.

            If the move makes Boo happy then you know you're doing the right thing.

              My friend had the same 'maybe it's because you and your husband split up' lecture when her lad was displaying 'problem' behaviour at school, they seemed to discount the fact that another lad was bullying him.

              I've been really lucky, when Andi and I split up, the school informed me of all the posible interventions that were available to the children, both in school and out. None were forced on us and none were needed...they've dealt with everything just fine.
              Both have their little quirks, DD has major confidence issues and DS is the opposite, also takes fidgetting to the level of dancing and isn't great at keeping quiet...never has it been suggested to me that it's because of my marriage break up. Fair enough to get family history and if something huge is happening in the home, it's best for the school to be aware, but for them to pass the buck is wrong.

              Wish Boo all the best in her new school. x

                I don't know the ins and outs of this, but I do know that children can behave totally differently at school than they do at home
