Failed my child miserably. Ignored my concerns - called me a paranoid parent! - until one teacher at the start of sixth form took me seriously and only then did we learn there was was a learning disability!
When I was here I lacked help from teacher as I have dyslexia. And found little to no support to my maths teracher not giving me extra time. Also
