Parental Expectation

As a parent you have seen maybe one of your childrens school results and reports not looking promising. The teachers tell you tat your child has lots of potential.But.

You are not alone

Its disappointing isnt it? What's their future?
The sad fact is that they may have siblings that are shining at school. If the child doesn't live with you the temptation to blame all on the other parent is so easy...But doesnt help.

I took time like you may have done attending the meetings at school. I began to feel exasperated with my son. Whilst he had been living with his mum it was their decision right at the point of failure( thats my view) as he became more regularly excluded. Some of you will have been there.
School rules.
If your child doesn't like school then they avoid school,then they get excluded from school which seems to many of us like a home goal for the school.
Bang goes University
If your child is excluded from school then the next option is the Department of Education's alternative provision
My initial view of this is not good.
Why? well the smoking issue isn't seen as a big issue. Engagement seems limited with the child direct.
At the end of the day the engagement with the child is the key. The parent has already had all the offers of education that we provide. Thus the engagement and expeience of the staff in the Education dept of the local county council is the key

Result

Regular calls emails etc with the Education dept of the county council has to be the key. I suspect some parents give up or don't have the time to pursue this. However once again it is the NEET child that has to engage..
