If she persists, put this in writing. I always handed my son over to his TA in the morning, together with the responsibility for his safety. Most children I know don't go into school on their own til they are in Year 3 or 4. Two of mine didn't like going to school, and would have run off/hidden given the chance.

justamum Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Most children I know don't go into school on their own til they are in Year 3 or 4 Here when they have started school, first year, and been taken there for a couple of weeks their parents open the front door and shove them out...main roads to cross and all! Me? I wouldn't and was told I was being 'over protective' . Well I would rather be that than anything worse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puffin Report post Posted April 23, 2008 Is it a matter of independence or is the problem that the TA is not being covered for loo and tea breaks? The latter was an issue at Ms school.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
