have spoken to teachers every year and have explained his problem,
his P4 teacher didn't want to know :eek:
his P5 teacher :A was fantastic and we worked out that writing the words down a number of times worked for the ones who had previously struggled
his P6 class was a job share but they had a few teachers due to illnesses and deaths in their families, the subs didn't have time to help the ones who had sturggled so the parents had to step in
This year I haven't been able to speak to the teacher yet as she's so busy I can't get an appointment with her :mad:
He also has behavioural problems and can't handle when things don't go the way they're supposed to so starts to rant or cry or if someone breaks a rule he'll tell but doesn't understand why the teacher then tells him off for telling tales
the teachers say there's nothing wrong with him as both myself and DH have asked because we were worried that maybe he was dislexic like his dad and that was why he was struggling but they just say he's smart but also very lazy.
Sorry for the rant
Hope you don't mind me putting my twopenneth in. I can't believe how you and your son have been treated by the school.:( I am a primary school teacher (specialising in additional learning needs) and dyslexia is a 'passion' of mine. In our school we view dyslexia as a learning difference (because it is) not a learning difficulty. Dyslexic people are intelligent people who cannot fulfill their potential unless they are taught the correct way to learn according to their specific difficulty. Ie some dyslexic people have a very poor auditory memory and some have a very poor visual memory. Some have both:(. You need to insist on a diagnostic dylslexia assessment (not just screening). If you get no joy with the school phone the local ed dept direct and speak to the school's Ed Psychologist. The male gene is also a strong one where dyslexia is concerned. (sorry to sound sexist but it is true). We find that once the child knows the problem they are experiencing their self esteem begins to rise and so does their academic progress as they now know that they aren't just 'thick' (not my words-I hear that a lot as we provide a type of therapy for the children who have been diagnosed).

Why not take them back if they're not comparable and then get them at Asda? Bit of hassle, but a substantial saving. :AHope is not a strategy.0 -
