The Cellar - View Single Post - What's kind of irking you, but might work out OK in the end?

I'm glad that you were able to sort this out, for you and the Fob.
Confusing and upsetting for any child his age, but appalling for Fob specifically. Dicks.

I'm going in on Wednesday to do an extra day (overtime too! yay!)
I think one of the big jobs is finishing the move of all of Mr W's stuff into Ms M's classroom and vice versa. One of the boys moving up has an induction loop (not sure if that's 100% accurate - bear with me) and the equipment is in Ms M's classroom, but not in Mr W's.

Weirdly - very, very weirdly - they decided to allocate him to Mr W. Both teachers run identical classes at that end of the school. It's done purely on birthdays. Why couldn't M move up to Ms M's class instead of making Mr W move? He's been in his particular classroom for years and is well entrenched. Just silliness.

All I can think is that the school is keen not to treat M any differently to another child. But making teachers swap classrooms for his sake is pretty much treating him differently then any other child.

Still - overtime

(I'll probably end up cleaning out the fridges in the staffroom - blech!)
