Can't rise to...Oh dear - here we go again.....<br /><br />Can't rise to that bait, but will say that the whole issue of children with any type of SEN in school is complicated - and I am not sure I have any real answers. As someone with 3 disabled children, I have plenty of experience with HCC and the whole educational provision. Two of them had excellent specialist placements paid for and provided by HCC ( one main stream primary with full time LSA, followed by secondary school with hearing impaired unit, the other SLD school throughout) Both benefited from specialist teachers, equipment and in the case of the child with SLD, qualified nurses on the premises at all times. They were also taxied to school ( 2 separate taxis going in opposite directions 20 miles each way each day)<br /><br />Yet for my autistic dd, primary school was a disaster, we tried a private school and then knew we could do better - by home educating. Can I blame HCC- or the school? Frankly I think that many children can learn better in a 1:1 set up - I am not sure what any LA could do to make things better for my dd. However I do know that some families don't want to home educate and want more from the school or LA - but don't get it. It is very complicated.<br /><br />I had a friend with a son with similar disabilities to my son who wanted 50 week a year residential school - they fought HCC and lost. Such placements are VERY expensive - and the child was only 5. Not sure what I think.Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-80959197231501343392013-11-29T09:07:09.122-08:002013-11-29T09:07:09.122-08:00Yes I have worked constantly for 27 years.

Peter was home educated from age of 7 till he was 16 my own view is that a private education is best but we could not afford this nor did we live near enough to a private school for Peter to get to.We where offered a place at Hampton private school but this is in London/surrey to far away.One other private school head did ring me but when i said i have to think about it as your some way from us and Peter aged 7 at the time is to young to get a bus on his own which needed at least to changes i never heard back from that head.<br /><br />as it turned out it all worked out rather well we got to spend as much time as we wanted on chess and enjoyed the home education as well and now he doing A levels at college and the teachers their said i had done a good job with Peter if only more pupils where like him<br /><br />It is LA's that cause the problems ass there are not held to account for what there do to parents.in our case it was Hampshire LA and that women i met today confirmed it to me she had lots of problems with them over her son all she wanted to do was get him the help he needed but no real help from Hampshire LA she said their bunch of crooks and i said and liars.<br /><br />i not an evangelist for home education but what i do want is for HCC LA's to follow the law on home education and not lie to parents /children not a lot to ask is it?<br />I and Peter learnt a lot about how councils work data act freedom of information act meeting the county councilor and our M>P Peter held meeting with them at a very young age to he used to pop round to Dr Ludlow house if he found something on the HCC education web site that did not appear right! we found out that you can have off site education it was on their Web site but by them it was to late we had started to enjoy the home education the freedom it give you etc<br /><br />what do parents do if their school does not have hardworking teachers and the governors are only interested in rubbing stamping everything for an easy life? just put up with it?<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881402584568285627.post-25020540500282622442013-11-28T03:51:42.763-08:002013-11-28T03:51:42.763-08:00Troublesome families was a refernce to this commen...Troublesome families was a refernce to this comment <br />"No seriously, none of them give a damn.
