I never got statemented at school, just got etc spelling put down a class or three and no hassle for homework!!!! Nothing practical to help at all.

With the OU, got statemented, allowed use of PC during exams and given an the full amount 1.30 hours. Meant 4.30 hours for one exam!

Hated school, frankly apart from  Art (only O level I passed got an A though :) It was a waste of time

OU was brilliant and with the etc help did really well and enjoyed it. Would seriously reckonmend.

Yep :)

Did three years (takes 6 for a degree hence half a degree :wink: )

Was brilliant, not easy but well worth it, gave me loads of confidence literacy wise and I wouldn't be running my own bussinss now (Or been able to help Son No2 half as much which in it's self has been invaluable)

Also made me realise that what I'd wanted to do wouldn't have been for me

:) Thanks, TBH was hubbys idea, support, help and persuasion ( also threats of having to go back to old job after kids went to school :shock: ) that got me on it.

My 8 year old helps me with the spelling on this thing :wink: He's just finished reading the Hobbit, and and started on Terry Pratchett

And he also can add up better and faster than me, he often 'takes over' and does the sums when Im pulling hair out and stomp off having a girly strop when doing the book keeping

Very embarassing :)  :oops:

It's not easy, but well worth it.
