It's brave to move your boy to another school - so glad it paid off for him. He must be happier in general, besides achieving so much more at school now. <br />It's hard when a school does not provide the support or backup that parents and pupils need. It sounds as if you're all much better off with the new school! <br />Well done to your son, J - it takes courage to start in a new school as one of the only "newbies" in the year group, then do so well. Sounds like he has Guts! (unlike a certain Precious.. poor kid, he doesn't stand much chance of turning out a nice person, does he?). It's sad that our kids do not only have to cope with bullying children, but also bullying parents too! <br /><br />I like you scrapbook page by the way.

Your son is lucky to have such supportive and loving parents who have his best interests at heart, he will be the better person for it.

Just goes to show that a lot of schools rely on past reputation and name and that's just not fair. I am so pleased to hear you found a better school where he will thrive.

Bringing them up to know what is right amidst that kind of thing is hard work but your patient loving support really shows! I love your layout, being able to work these things out on a page really helps doesn't it?<br /><br />Thanks for the story today IfaSianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764280029794453933noreply@blogger.com
