I'm beside myself at the moment. You've seen me post about Eldest Spawn's problems and struggle with her mental health, so you can appreciate how much work she has put in to actually getting accepted onto her college course and even more getting herself there and back each day.
Today was her 2nd time in the kitchen, at 10:30am ( it's a 9am start) She calls me, breaking her heart. Her tutor has pulled her to one side and told her she is considering pulling her from the course as she is worried about Spawn's confidence with her knives etc. It's only her 2nd time and barely an hour into that! What the hell are they there for if not to train her how to use them??? There were no pre-requisites for the course, she passed both of her assessments with them, she had 3 meetings with them and they have had the full report of her history and needs and they were more than happy to accept her onto the course.
I'm terrified that a years worth of therapy and progress is about to get flushed down the toilet or worse destroy her mental health to a scary point.
I'm waiting for her to find out exactly what the hell is going on, I've advised her to stand up and fight for her right to be given a chance on that course. Then if necessary I'm going over there guns blazing and I'll scream discrimination if I have to. She deserves at least a chance to prove or indeed disprove that she can do the course. We've got £160 worth of uniform and equipment they've let us buy so it's rather a pee take if they had no intention of giving her a chance!
