My School Story
As a teenager at school I was repeatedly sexually assaulted by another student. When I plucked up the courage to tell my favourite teacher I was told to take it as a compliment.
As a parent, my eldest daughter was denied help for her behaviour and anxiety because she was academic and not a problem at school. I removed her to home educate.
My middle child struggled in school (now diagnosed asd and adhd) and was frequently kept in during break AND lunch IN THE SAME DAY to catch up with her work because she struggled with understanding and attention- but was labelled disruptive. I removed her to home educate.

What happened next...
Home education is fantastic my children thrived.
My eldest went to college at 14, my middle daughter is now self employed with her own business.

How I think schools could be better.
I don’t even know where to start regarding safety. It’s terrifying what’s goes on in school and even outside of school on the way home.
