Despite the school going the extra mile with llitty, always very supportive they had to give in and make the referral to Alternative Education...the old PRU. Now this is not for behaviour but the school have been telling me and the Chin group that she has hit a mental wall with regards to learning, she is so far behind and not able to catch up despite 1to1 and small group work, and she will not achieve in her exams, I have to agree with them she seems to be going backwards rather than moving forward in any areas, so I check with littly she is happy to go to this unit...its the same one her sis went too. At the meeting this is made clear to the unit, all forms are filled in, the school are paying for this and the school will keep her as dual enrolded and the unit agree to littly still doing her one day a week work exp in the school canteen ad she can work to certificates, they have applied for bus pass to take the pressure of fares off of us and will attend any meetings....which is more than middlys school did.Since DS has come back littly is in debt as well to drug chap, is complaining about him taking her friends away, her best friend..girl, has now told her that her ad has found out that she is in a behaviour unit and she is at grammar school and he does not want littly staying at their house anymore...now want to interfere and put him right but am so tired of dealing with ignorant people I will wait for littly to talk to me about it...her and the girl still meet up but the every other weekends of her staying there and the girl staying here is now over...with DS back it suits us at the moment but its not good for llittly.She like her sister has split with the bf, again this is a shame as both lads were alright....as my sister said "not a tattoo between them"...about sums it up.

Sorry to read about your childrens problems, one sentence I am wondering about: 'that she has hit a mental wall with regards to learning'Is this really true or is this the case?Middle childhood: •Around 4th Grade academic lags begin to become much more apparent, have difficulty moving to higher order of thinking, applying general information to specific situations and generalizing specific information to a wider application This is fasd! Read and see or you recognise the points mentioned.Lifelong effects of fas:http://www.deborahhage.com/articles/fas2.html

extra hugsif she has hit a well re learning then don't do it. Life skills would be a better option. how to budget and cook and clean you would be a great teacher of that.Or tap into a talent and use that as a teaching tool.at dd college they did not maths and English as guess what the students would not go to lesson but call it meteorology, barge skills and going to the cafe they all turned up and did not realise they were doing core skills.

update,three nights out, two without our permission, I refuse to call the police now, because she is not technically missing she is just doing what she wants and when she wants, and I am not prepared to be the one up all night whilst the police search the house garden and garage. She is totally out of our reach, there is no talking to her I hardly recognise this child as my littly.
