I just need a wee rant so please bear with me. Since the start of the year we have been requesting an IEP for our son. Now term 3, still nothing. At home we are reading about evolution, genes, molecular gases and the periodic table. He is well adavnced on his reading, maths is at least on average and writing is coming along - when given the opportunity to write about what he is interested in. So its not like he needs to focus on the basics, but at school he is getting worksheets with questions like "What colours are on the bed cover?" and reading that is simple for him. We didn't realise how simple until an incomplete sheet came home. Not enough time says my son - I know what that means from experience - plenty of time, not enough interest to bother finishing.
What do we do? The teacher is not listening. We are going to shift him to a new school next year but have to wait for the ballot (Which is fairly well guaranteed not to be full, but means we cannot access till the end of the year). What do we do in the mean time? We are not being listened to at all and our son is barely learning anything at all. Funnily enough he doesn't much like school.
He is a very well behaved child and it seems that this doesn't really help as it means no alarm bells ring to create any action. AAAHHH! It seems that he is going to have to waste two more terms at school with nothing happening by which time their is a chance he will have lost his drive for learning at school completely!
