Have you ever sat down and thought what is the point in all this?
Don't worry I haven't hit depression mode just yet.
It is just that for a while now I have been thinking about giving up one of the Governing bodies I belong to.
Why?
Because I feel like all I am doing is pushing the dreaded paperwork around, or going around in circles and not seeing any improvement. Because I don't feel like I can suppost a school where the head does not consider the welfare of the children in her care.
Because my child after christmas will be on his 10th teacher since he started school (he is now in year 4).
Because I can't see anything changing only getting worse.
Unfortunately when I spoke of my concerns to a friend, she told me that without me on the Governing body, it will fall apart as I was one of only a few that will challenge what happens and question it.
Praise indeed but unfounded.
yet I know full well I probably will stay and see it through to the bitter end, well at least until my child moves onto high school.
The other Governors are so blinkered. They do not have children there, they do not know what is really going on only what they are being told by the head - surprise, surprise.
And so I book myself on yet another course to help me fulfil my role.
Will I be appreciated? No I don't think so but yet I still go on in the hope that one day someone will listen and help me sort it out. You never know
