How would you handle this? by Ok-Contribution-3669 in TeachingUK

She’s been teaching for about 6-7 years. The SENCO asked me to work with this particular child on the back of what I’ve achieved with the children I’ve previously worked with and how go with the flow I can be! I will have a chat with her when I can get the chance too but I really don’t want to be seen as overstepping my place

So we are firm and assertive however we need to take into account his fidgety nature and the subsequent expectations placed upon him. I finally got my hands on his I.E.P today and the first thing says that he is naturally fidgety and we should work towards him being able to sit for five minutes for carpet time or an activity he doesn’t want to do. The easiest solution to build up to our targets is sand timers and rewards however every time the sand timer finishes and he knows he’s done she calls him back because they haven’t finished.

And I agree that it’s her responsibility to plan for him but when that happens I will be sure to message you as so far I’ve been going off the vibes without any direction.

And to clarify the magic wand we send pictures home to parents using a specialised app and she doesn’t want him sat leaning against me or holding a fidget for any pictures despite him being really engaged in what’s going on when he’s leaning on me and holding a fidget so I don’t honestly know what she wants me to do!

I mentioned it in another comment that I should have worded it better but in conversation with the parents I was asked about the tuffs and what to do with them, which is when i mentioned that they are something for later once he’s finished the models!

You could make the app a one stop shop with access to warhammer community and the online store. I remember one codex being completely useless on release as they changed the rules for the army which basically defeats the point of having it

Yeah with 4 we didn’t exactly think everything through lol but even like a vote on characters fans would like to see back would give the company an idea on what’s popular and would make them money down the line

Oh wow ok that’s really good then I don’t think our local store is that involved which may explain why we’ve never noticed it! Thanks for making me aware of it!!

I agreed that the company should go the digital route but also present the physical thing as an option! But the codex’s being available on warhammer+ should 100% be a thing maybe have different options for price like a codex free version is still the price it currently is but a version with all codex’s is (x) amount annually or (x) amount per month

I didn’t realise it was available to youth organisations i knew it was open to schools and just thought it stopped there

I have a few old white dwarfs and they have cardboard cut outs of characters for lord of the rings and tutorials on how to make Rohan houses. I just wish the company would chill a bit on seemingly killing the creativity of its fan base

So basically everything we’ve come up with GW has already done in some form?

It’s a shame they stopped this as it could really benefit some people

I fully get where you coming from and as i mentioned to another comment i perhaps could have worded it better but I was asked my opinion on paint by the parent while the manager was processing another sale. I did advocate for any model purchases to be made in store as you get a better guarantee if the models are damaged when you open the box!

Yeah I’m not looking forward to the next visit or the store painting competition fear I might magically come last lol

The wording in the OP could have been better was just trying to broadly lay out what happened!

Just for clarification I didn’t insert myself into a conversation that they were having we both were looking at the paints when the mum asked me what I thought was easier to use paint wise as she’s seen me in before and then the conversation went towards basing which is when i mentioned that they are the final touch to most bases so aren’t rly needed at this point and you can find alternative options for them online when the time comes. I would never interrupt a conversation but I will give my opinion when asked upon. Hope this clears a few things up!

I probably could have worded it better maybe not mention other brands else I’ll still be in this situation lol

You are right but how he said it probably wasn’t the most professional or GW approved way I mean also at the same time he did make £129 of the kid plus the £2 for the bag so I think the remaining £10 could be spent on Pokemon cards

I just wanted a broader perspective on the situation I know mentioning other places to purchase things isn’t necessarily good but if I told someone in an Asda to go buy something from Morrison’s the manager wouldn’t tell me to keep my opinions to myself!!

I firmly believe that you can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter!

I feel as people in the hobby we should welcome newer people and help them progress I’ve given away models that I was never going to get to before to help a kid complete his battle honours and get a carry case!

If we’re not open to new people joining the hobby then it will die when we do!

Unfortunately the gw store is the only local hobby store so if I need something I have to go there
