But you/anyone can only cope with so much. I feel exactly the same - I couldn't have Harry home full time right now. <br /><br />That said, I would feel like you and want to know that my child was in the best possible place for their needs. Could you not fight for one-to-one at the SN school on the grounds that there is no PMLD class and the OFSTED report? Could you argue that neither option is appropriate to her needs therefore she would need additional support? What if she stops breathing at school etc in a class of 12? It's hard enough with 5 other able bodied children I would imagine! if those are your only options I would try and get the 1:1 - she won't have "full access to the curriculum" in either environment otherwise - as the OFSTED clearly stated.Twinsplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14647701493165196509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669889792701619840.post-58084524643952703902011-05-04T09:35:09.845-07:002011-05-04T09:35:09.845-07:00I was exactly the same with Livvy.

Mobile was never turned off. This is something that has stayed with be. At first school exhausted Livvy but she loved it. The staff seriously loved her and completely spoiled her. My advice would be to try it and see. You can always chance at homeschool later if you want. <br /><br />As for a break you need it. You cannot keep running on empty. It isn't good for any of you.Sara xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060884332479801540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669889792701619840.post-73937217876163115192011-05-04T09:19:22.164-07:002011-05-04T09:19:22.164-07:00Hi caroline, I have no experience but wanted to sa...Hi caroline, I have no experience but wanted to say wanting a few hours break is not selfish, even wonder woman needs a break. Would sending her to school part time for a while and see if she seems happy when collected or returned, if it doesn't work there's nothing stopping you pulling out and home schooling full time.<br /><br />I'm sure some other mums will be more helpful but I wanted to say your already wonder mum!Post Palshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962384526298505063noreply@blogger.com
