Ok so first of I will point out our ds13 is a child who needs extra help. He has quite a few issues including behavioural ones.
As he parents we have limited his access to things like he does not have a mobile (whats he need one for anyway) He does not currently get to use the computers at home ect ect. This is because while some children his age can grasp that the internet ect can be a dangerous place DS can not. Like everyday life he is extremely naïve and innocent. He is 13 but mental functions a lot younger.
He is in a special class at school and part main stream as well. Now normally if the school needs him to have access to the net we have to sign a form. Today DS13 comes home and informs me that one of his teachers, one whom I have many issues with including him trying to tell us not to discipline him at home as the school already did, as well as not telling us what issue our son has had at school as he thinks what happens at school stays at school, This teacher MADE him make up a gmail account including an email chat and made their profile pic a photo of themselves that they took with the camera on the computer!!!! DS13 told him that I his mum wouldn't let him as his not allowed one, the teacher told him NO its ok. And made him make one.
Im furious im so freakin mad right now. I just called the school and spoke to the principal about this. And she said it sounds like part of the class, well yes I understand that but don't you need my permission in writing first?? This profile has his full name and his full date of birth too!! All she said was I can speak to him and make a appointment for you to speak to him. Again I told her ive had many issue with this teacher and he does not listen to me and that's why im going to you. She simply just repeated herself and said she wouldn't get back to me till Monday.
Whats your opinion on this? Am I right to be upset and is there anything I can do?? DS even asked the teacher if he could put in a fake name as he knew how we felt about him having an account t and the teacher told him no he had to use his full name.
Can I take this further? While im asking am I right in that I should also be being told the whole story of when things happen at school from the teacher about my child or just the bits he wants to tell me?
