    I never referred to the SNA been linked to having a medical card?

    I cant see why any school would need to know this information.

    I don't like the relationship been created by saying PROBLEM=UNEMPLOYMENT
    PROBLEM = LOANER
    ETC.
    Its the identification of a situation as been a problem.
    MAYBE ITS NOT.

    I don't see why a school cant just say
    if you have concerns in relation to your child talk to us.

    Hang on a second Cathy. This might not be something you want to hear, but a child being deemed a loner can be problematic in secondary school for the child. By being aware of this from the get go the school can keep a watchful eye on the situation to try to ensure the child is doing ok in school.

    Similarly, the parents being unemployed can be problematic for the child. What about school trips or other extracirricular activities that require extra money that the parents might not have? If the school is aware of the economic restraints on a family they could be more sensitive to that child's situation.

    Quite frankly Cathy you are being hypersensitive and seeing offence where none is intended.

    I thought you bolded the "the child" bit. Apologies. And I don't know that saying you appear hypersensitive is name calling. It is an observation based on your writing and tone.

    Edit: sorry to read that about your child.
