    Had the same thing with one of my kids tonight.got beaten up and didn't want to make a fuss:eek: I persuaded his mum that since he was bleeding we should do something serious.


    but this is serious



    and so things should be put right.

    My HOY knows the sen kids, it is a big part of her job to make sure they are ok. If he really doesn't want you do anything (I know you have already done this I am just saying it for no apparent reason!) then absolute make sure he knows that she was wrong and she should be put right (what does J think of his hoy?)

    He just knows I'm a lot cross, and doesnt want me to be rude to her :rolleyes:

    He doesnt know her Buffy, today was the first time he's met her. Looking at the website, she's the Director of Studies for his part of the school :confused:

    He's reading over my shoulder, to see what I'm telling you :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:

    Well if he is still reading!

    Your head of year is wrong to speak to you like that, yeah you made a misatake but you fixed as soon as you could AND you apologised. Your teacher was fine about it, it makes no sense to tell someone off AFTER they have fixed the problem.

    and you should definately let your mum tell her that.

    You are lovely and frankly she should bog off.
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I darent ring, I know I'll get upset :o

    Write her a letter over the weekend - once the dust settles slightly. Make the point that mistakes happen - everybody makes them. It is how you deal with them afterwards that separates the decent people in this world from the wannabes. Your son apologised as soon as the mistake was realised. She did not.
