  1. wowzers, so much information thank you very much. it will take me a few reads to understand it all!! think ill print it off. Ill add that im in scotland... sometimes the policies and procedures are different. thank you again.... x
  2. im actually a bit confused if hes falling behind or not........ from what i see via homework he can manage the sums. He struggles with multiplication and at present is taking away using exchanging. he can do it easily and i think now he is fed up with doing the same sums over and over again...... once he has done it he thinks "why do i need to keep doing this" and simply refuses. The school teachers have told me if he doesnt keep up with the work and he doesnt listen properly he will fall behind. They tell me that he does already do about half the amount that the other children can do.... i wonder if there is too much pressure on him, he is in a composite class, he ALWAYS has been, hes never been in a class of pupils of just his age. He is always the younger class of the two. just now he is in a primary 6/5 and is the primary 5 part. If this continues next year will be the 7/6 class and thats one of the highest classes and i think the pressure will be too much for him so im considering requesting that he goes into the 6/5 again this year as a primary 6 this time BUT im worried it will be the same work.
  3. thank you everyone its so hard.... we have tried reward charts, home diarys (positive and negative things), he has enjoyed picking out a prize from the teachers pot, weve tried incentives, egg timers..... current trial is that he has tape round his desk (he sits on his own table next to teachers desk... his choice). The tape is for him to realise his own space and hes not to cross it as he has been wandering round the classroom doing silly things ie blowing in other childrens ears. I find that certain strategies work but only for a very short time and we are back to thinking again...... he is struggling to deal with consequence and im waiting for teh ed pysh to get back to me for the next meeting for a plan of action to assist him with this problem. for now tho ive asked the school to lower his "consequence" and not letting him join in in 2 pe lessons is far too harsh a punishement for him and they have to think of something else. meybe take 5 mins of golden time (fun time on a fri pm) away from him but not a whole pe lesson and he really loves pe. There are times when he does go into a seperate room to do some work but to him this is seen as a punishment and it makes him mad. He works really really well one to one.... but there is no funding to enable a teacher who is free all the time to do this. there are teaching assistants and im promised they spend a lot of time with him. If he gets it into his head that he doesnt want to work, he just wont. I need him to work... 2 years til academy... im very very worried. there is a special needs school here but its for more pysically disabled children and my son doenst "fit the bill" to attend that school and ive been told by doctors,ed psycs, teachers, healthvisitors etc that mainstream is definately best for him. But im not sure now if they cant get him to work... whats the point. sorry ive waffled a bit!!! thanks again for all the comments and support.
  4. noooo he LOVES pe... he is devastated not to be included in pe. He NEEDS his pe class to run off steam!!
  5. hi, can anyone help here or offer any advice. my 10 year old (aspergers) is struggling in school. He is bright and is more than able to do the work but he just doesnt. he refuses or does a very little amount. ie maths, he maybe does 1 or 2 sums in a whole morning. His teachers and I know he can do it easily but he just wont. Ive had to call the school today as for the 2nd day in a row he hasnt been allowed to join in pe because hes not done his work. the ed pshy, teachers and i are currently starting to look at how we can help him accept "consequenes" as at present he wont accept them and it ends up in him having an explosion at school and at home too. He gets very angry as you can imagine. Ive talked to him but he just shrugs when i ask him to tell me why he didnt do his maths. Ive explained to him that there will be a consequence if he doesnt do his maths but is missing a whole pe lesson too much of a "punishment" for him or am i being a bit too soft.... but its me that gets the brunt of it when he gets home. I have 2 year old twins too who unfortunately are in the firing line. He has an IEP set up but mainly thats for personal problems, ie he needs to be quicker at preperaing in the morning etc and things like that. How can we get him to work???? suggestions that i can pass on to his teachers?? thank you
