My son's special needs school has been proposed for closure by the council. It's a very upsetting possibility and I hope it doesn't go through.
There's a parents group been set up to campaign against it but I can't really get overinvolved - it's based on the other side of Manchester, I work and don't have my own transport so I couldn't commit any time to attend day or evening meetings. They've sent a petition thing to me which I'm going to pass to both my mum and dad who's jobs mean they know a wide range of people - I don't with working from home and I'm really anxious in social situations (possibly got autistic issues myself for all I know the stress it can give me).
I'm not overly keen on how they're going about things, they keep sending newsletters home from school but they're all in capital letters with quite accusing language which feels like they're bullying parents to get involved, telling people we should sacrifice work leave to come to events (I have 1 leave day left until April). They have even sent me a letter home to sign asking that I refuse to allow my child to be taken to any activities that involve mainstream schools either academic or non academic (e.g. sports/arts events) so that he isn't introduced to mainstream school provision etc...
*sighs* it's just stressing me out and making me feel like a bad parent for not getting stuck in
Rant over, gonna hop on m'stationary bike now to pedal away some frustration.
