Hi
How utterly unprofessional of the Teacher in this case. I know that if my Son had this type of hassle, I think I would be storming into the school with steam coming out of my ears! Second thoughts, I would probably be fairly diplomatic rather than not being responsible for my actions! Perhaps the Teacher requires some further eduction?!

Dear Christine,
Absolutely horrified to read this. Of all people - a teacher. Everyone else has already said what I think, just to give you my support. There are a lot of people who joke about this terrible illness, and anyone who does it in front of me gets the very special Fiona Frosty look, and believe me I can do frosty really well!
Good luck, I shall follow your story with interest.

update?
Hello again Christine, I have been away on holiday but have thought several times about your origional post. Now the schools have broken up did you ever get any joy from your complaints to the school? I hope your grandaughter will find more help and understanding from wherever she moves on to in September.

Sorry for not keeping everyone up to date about my complaint but my eldest son - waiting to find out if he is in remission - Grandson who is off to Iraq gives 5 weeks notice for his wedding to Fiancee - Peter has gone down hill more - with my disability having big problems pains wise.
Had meeting with Deputy Head with Lauren present.
Deputy Head has parent with AD.
Lauren spoke for herself, outlines everything said .
Lauren left the office whilst Deputy Head and I spoke. As Lauren is already in the top Science class, never missed School, to which I replied, if it had been me I would have.
So this D.Head made an appointment for Lauren & Science Teacher for 1.40. All Lauren wanted was a face to face talk with him.
Lauren went to the appointment NO DEPUTY HEAD, NO SCIENCE TEACHER.
No message given to Lauren.
Now the School have broken up and they think it is all over but all the information ready for School Govenors.
My daughter sent in letter of complaint to no avail.
Lauren is attending a different School for 6th Form.
Now, if this School thinks it is the end of the matter, they are wrong.
I will continue for the future pupils.
There will also be a lot of information on AD/Dementia sent to the School.
If you hear on the news a woman has chained herself to the School gates, IT IS ME.
Best wishes
Christine

Dear Margarita,
The Science Teacher was not explaining Alzheimer's/Dementia to them. If he had been teaching how the brain works it would have been different.
In fact Lauren has already given a talk to the whole of her year about AD and how it effects our lives.
I would rather not put into sentences the things said as I see it as being on the same par as him and I do not want to offend anyone.
Best wishes

Hi Christine,
I could just imagine the headteacher at my daughters school if this happened. It just wouldn't be tolerated. Disgusting.
Like everyone has said, take it to the top.
Making a complaint to your child's school - the process that will probably make something happen:

Go for it!
Kind Regards

- Complaining to your local authority

Go for it!
