Following exclusion from my school the challenge of discipline becomes more of an issue.
Homework is sent by the school for 5 days. Yet the former student who is expecting to become permanently excluded is less likely to undertake any homework set by the school.
Many parents just want to move the child's schools. Give them a fresh start but the reality is that is not the direction the system is set for.
The older the child the less likely the child will return to full time school, particularly if they are far behind for their age.
I found this challenging after filling in the mid term application
I found that the clear direction was not the direction discussed at meetings. Key Stage 4 students, Year 9 & 10 were directed to an alternative provider
Base line assessments and careers advice are offered.
Frustration
At present I do not know my son's capabilities. Is he more or less intelligent than I think. What are his basic skills levels like?
When a child hasn't put the time in at school and has walked out of school then it is fair to say the assessment is hard to undertake.
As time goes on we worry more and more about their future. Finding what will motivate them, inspire them. Change the attitude to want to learn and study.
Education & Training
Getting an NVQ or an Appreticeship is a sound grounding. The higher the level like NVQ 3 upwards the better.
An Apprenticeship may not be a degree, but it's a career move. If it's the right Apprenticeship in a growing industry it can provide a future.
