What Schooling would you like for your child

[streamdreams]

Inspired by the previouse thread what shcool have you got, this should let us see the gap

If everything was done right for him with adequate support then mainstream. Senior school however I believe matters may change. Play it by ear I suppose.

This is probably going to sound daft, but I really don't know

 

Alex is 16 now, during his school life we've tried

 

Mainstream - disaster.

 

Mainstream with ASD unit - disaster.

 

Special school - we had a look at some which were unsuitable for Alex, but he really didn't want to go to one anyway.

 

Home education - I didn't feel it was a good idea for either Alex or myself.

 

Other - The education package that Alex has now is working well, but he only does 7-8 hours of lessons per week.

I would like a specialist provision rather than special school.

 

I think that so long as the education fits the child then the setting is not so important.

 

However, wherever our kids are, crowded noisy large schools are not the answer.

For dd it has to be special school all the way, mainstream couldn't cope with her and she couldn't cope with mainstream. Too many kids per class, too much noise, not enough structure etc etc. and not enough understanding for my liking.

ANY education at ALL would be a 100% improvement on what we are getting now.

He's in mainstream now but idealy, I'd prefer he had access to an ASD unit. At this school there is only an EBD unit in the junior section, nothing in the infants section at all but then i don't think an EBD unit is what he needs! Once I have the dx confirmed, I'll probably push for an ASD unit which is in another school I have approached regarding getting T transferred to.

I voted 'other'.My son is doing very well in a special school but I'd prefer him in a specialist setting,if possible.xx

A mainstream school with a SEN unit would probably be the most I could get for my son.

My son wouldn't be able to cope in a big mainstream school, the one he is in has about 9 pupils per year average so its not too bad. He has been to a special school for a holidays playscheme today and says he wants to go there tho Had to let him down gently that he can't.

I wasn't sure so I voted other. Anywhere he was happy and settled with no upset would suit .
