    the thing about aspergers is interesting though. as i say, my sister was diagnosed very late and theres no doubt she has problems with social skills and little empathy, doesnt like change, can suffer from depression etc,

    i believe this has been influenced by my mother who i would describe as having quite a disordered personality. she is very defensive, paranoid, literal, has comprehension problems, a bit grandiose and poor social skills. what chance is there that none of these issues have passed in some form onto her children?

    You are angry - I just can't quite work out why...

    The receptionist saw you manhandling your child - they reported it to SS. SS investigated.

    Your child turned up to school with bruises all over their legs - they reported it to SS. SS investigated.

    Your child turned up to school with a split lip...guess what happened.

    There's definitely a cycle here - people doing their jobs, you taking it personally, getting defensive and probably making things a whole lot worse...

    She did not have a split lip at all, there was nothing wrong with her lips or any area of her body for that fact.

    so what was in it for the teacher to make this up, are you claiming that they are trying to get at you?

    So you are a teacher? Then in that case you should know all about safeguarding and of the systems in place for children with special needs.

    I dunno ... reading your OP and the additional snippets that you have made here and there I am beginning to doubt the validity of your claims.


    skimming the thread and ignoring the core issues, but its possible to take a PGCE and not go on to teach. I have a few friends who ''drifted'' on to PGCE courses and then drifted on to something else seeing it wasn't for them, but most finished the course. I have no idea how much information about the safeguarding etc they'd have during the course though. My guess is systems change and go out of date.

    I used to teach post 16 anatomy modules for beauty therapy and Access courses. The nursing covered the safe guarding of vunerable people, not specifically children and I have not done a update course since 2007.

    So far, you have said that the school (head or the safeguarding co-ordinator -not the CT or secretary has claimed) and an anonymous tipper have contacted SS.

    Who made the anonymous tip that you cut your daughter lip? I should have thought that the clue is in the title. Quite simply, you don't know. Stop blaming the school in doing their job and stop assuming that they are out to get you. Myself and other posters have repeatedly said that this is not about you.

    I have no idea, kicks perhaps, there are such things as bad teachers. I am not the only mum in DD's class to have dealings with this teacher.

    Why?!?!?!

    You're totally ignoring advice, YET AGAIN, and just replying to what people are saying about YOU.

    Stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about what you can do to help your DAUGHTER.

    Fair point but she should have an understanding of it. No matter how weak that understanding might be.

    its quite an achievement though, from the age of 18 to 29, to have qualified as a nurse, got a degree and a pgce AND had 3 kids
