My GC are in years 8 and 9, and as a care provider who is a single parent, my DD has been sending them to school.
As school hours were later, their stepmum has been dropping them in the mornings. This was never going to be a happy option as she can't seem to keep her unpleasant thoughts to herself regarding my DD.
Last week, my GD was dragged to the ground by her ponytail. The assault was reported and the school dealt with it. The pupil has severe problems at home and we encouraged our GD to be understanding. What else can you do really?
But today, the on line lessons crashed and no teachers would get close enough to pupils to help. Suppose a 2m barge pole might have helped.
Think enough is enough, and homeschooling is the answer now.
Any thoughts welcome?
