Absolutely, and these days they seem to be able to do pretty much as they like, and what can you do anyway if the parents are fuckwits and never do a thing to even attempt to control any of them, SEN or not SEN. This is a big problem now.
I’ve talked before about a lad I know whose parents and school just washed their hands when he was statemented. He went from a perfectly normal, bright little boy to a barely-functioning troglodyte playing computer games all day in his bedroom. He’s in his twenties now and absolutely no prospect of gainful employment or a normal life. God knows what will happen to him when his parents retire and downsize.
Good God, that’s just scandalous!
It is. Such a waste, he was really very smart, great mathematician.
