SML College

Went here back in the day when it was simply S&M college. Not sure what the L stands for but in this modern world it's all the rage. Good place for a caning.

We looked around and met the Coordinator with a view to our home-educated autistic son joining the college. The philosophy of self-directed learning fitted with our own approach and we had high hopes. Unfortunately the flexibility and empathy directed at the children did not seem to extend to the parents. We requested to be able to stay in the room for the first few sessions to make sure he was settling. We were refused without explanation. We requested if he could start part-time to ease himself into a group learning situation as he was completely unused to it. We were refused without explanation. When I said he would get very tired at first I was told curtly that he could sleep somewhere there-something my son would never be able to do. When my wife went into the arts club room to see if our son was alright, there was only him and one other child there, she was told off by the coordinator. It was very disappointing and just the sort of thing we had encountered from mainstream schools. I still don't understand the attitude. No doubt other parents have had a different experience but this was ours. We wanted it to work but ran into the sort of inflexibility and dogmatism that we had encountered in state provision. Perplexing.
