I was badly bullied but I was the one who was punished for truancy. I ended up developing CPTSD because no-one would help me. I'm 55 now, I hope kids are better supported, it ruined my whole life.

So true! My daughter struggled for four years, even with her diagnosis of autism and adhd the school blamed her! From the ages of 8-11! She was choosing to not go, when there she was choosing not try and do her work! No support. I fought for her EHCP, she spent a year out of education completely. I’ve finally got her in a specialist setting and this week she completes her first term. She is absolutely thriving! She hasn’t missed a day and is completing all her work! Oh, and also turns out she has dyslexia and dyscalculia! But no, she was just choosing to be like that!

It not just SEN children, my daughter really struggles to go to school. She isn’t happy there, she cries at bedtime about going the next day, she cried and refuses to go to school in the morning. It breaks my heart, her attendance percentage is low and I will be getting a fine soon. We have been through a lot as a family in the last year and the school do not care about her mental healthy, all they care about is her attendance percentage. They make no allowance for her because it’s mental health related. They make my life more difficult than it needs to be. It’s so upsetting for me too, I hate sending her to a place I know she hates and doesn’t feel comfortable

fines are ridiculous, they are just a tax on the poor as the richer parents can pay the fine no problems and private schools dont even get fined for taking children out in term time

my son is 1 of many children who prove what she is saying is right. my son couldnt attend for 2yrs the moment his teachers gained that trust (new school!) and proved to him they cared he has been able to attend. hes still only in until 10.30am everyday but he is in school, and he is learning. something i NEVER thought would happen again.. hes only 7

the assumption is that every school refuser has a SEND issue, and unfortunately there are a lot of cases where it just stems to their homelife where no boundaries and a distrust of education is in place... I love this lady but I think she probably comes from a place of privilege, I doubt her kids attend a school from a low socio economical area where the reasons that children are missing from school are different to hers

I agree with her they are always pushing mental health and then they give sooo much stress to parents and children

Schools are outdated, they need a massive overhaul. Kids learn at different rates and in different ways and if you struggle they just write you off because they don't have the time to teach you.

The “adults” in school are the worst bullies out of everyone.

My daughter has intermittent abscenes due to a severe chronic condition. The secondary school is unable to support her with resources to catch up on missed work. She enjoys school, but attends lessons confused and is experiencing educational regression. But school will not support her academically. Its cruel.

6 years out of school because primary school couldn’t meet his needs and no school nearby will take him.

Old Skool History :
Schools don't see a single penny of a fine btw, its a government thing. But there's also a huge amount of kids whose parents let them not attend school for silly reasons and then it becomes chronic. Schools need funding to be better, simple.

The entire education sector needs a complete reset. Issues have been ignored for too long that they cannot be solved individually

The is the problem most Sen kids see their home as the safest place and try f to force them into a school environment is just too much for some

Couldn’t agree more. And schools need SO much more in the way of resources. Def need to return to the drawing board, fundamentally change the system and reprioritise resources. From a Govt perspective, a vision without resource is simply fiction…

The bottom line is that all of these comments may be valid but schools cannot do any more without more money. Online learning, more pastoral support and interventions to create more accessibility all require teacher and support staff time. Without more pay or a reduction in other responsibilities you cannot reasonably ask that from school staff.
