Welsh Mother Pleads for Help with ADHD Childs Education

Phillipa Davies of South Wales is asking for help. Her daughter hasn’t been to school in over a month because of her behavioral issues. Though her daughter was expelled for only three days, Davies has refused to take her back, saying the school is mistreating her daughter.

“She told the Post her daughter was even eating her food in the staff room away from the other children… Twenty-five-year-old Ms Davies said that as Sophie got older she had developed behavioral problems and had been found to have tendencies of autism and of ADHD.” [Source: The South Wales Evening Post]

The school district can’t comment directly on Sophie’s case, but the head of schools – Aled Evans – said the school has an excellent reputation for effective teaching. He added that, while Sophie may be experiencing trouble at school, keeping her home and uneducated is not an appropriate solution.

This is unacceptable. *Every* child deserves an education, and just because you don't fit into what the school says is "acceptable" doesn't mean you should be denied the chance to learn. I support this parent's efforts, and I hope this conflict ends in a way that is best for the child.
