Hi. Anyone here has any experience of offrolling? My son is in Y8 and I just feel like they don't want him there. Detention for undone shoelaces FFS? He has ADHD. Of course he won't notice undone shoelaces. The school gave him a badge to show he has special needs but it all feels like b******* to be honest. He is a lovely boy just so distracted. Do I stay and fight it : how? Or just leave and go somewhere that gets him? Am I naive to think it will be any different? Ta

Hi Maggie. It doesn't sound like you have to worry about offrolling at this stage. Has he ever been excluded from school or got into "real" trouble? Detention for undone shoelaces doesn't sound great especially if he is a wearing the badge you mention but it doesn't sound like they are trying to push him out either. Or is there anything else that is happening? Was the detention decided by his usual teacher who knows him or someone else at school? When my son gets in toruble in his school, it often turns out to be with a teacher who doesn't know him well. Worth exploring?
