UNHAPPY PARENT

My son registered in Eastern Cape at Umthawelanga Senior School. He has a problem with eye sight. I will try to cut it short, last year he had an corneal transplant on his left eye he couldn't write December exams but I reported at school. This year January he went back to school and had a problem with the operation and I had to go to school and meet the school and members of the Sgb. I asked for a transfer to Caps Town so that he is near his doctor, it was in February. In March I was struggling to get a school and he told me he want to go back to his school. I went back to school and spoke to Principal and we agreed that he must come when he is back to Eastern Cape. In May again I visited the school because to report him that on the 31/05/2018 he is going for another Corneal transplant for the right eye. The Principal called another teacher and check with him about the Exams timetable. They both confirmed that he can't write because they will already started. He even asked the class teacher to give me her contact details so that we communicate. He called the Department of Education In Mount Fletcher and spoke to Mr Nkhoahle, who told the principal there will be no problem he will write when he comes back and maybe there will some other students in the district. In July my son went back to school and he was sick and at school they give him a letter to go to clinic. At clinic they told him he had an infection. I called his doctor in Groote Schuur he advised he must come back urgently. It was a long weekend he came back to Cape Town ASAP and we went to Groote Schuur and they have to treat that infection and do follow up for 3weeks. My nephew told me he reported him to his class teacher. He went back to school and wrote September exams. He told that he advised that he is no longer registered in school he was deleted in February. I called the principal and he told me that but I don't understand why because I was at school in March and May how is that possible. Why? Now my son is attempting school just for revision and he must repeat grade 11 for the fourth year. Next year May he has an appointment for another Corneal transplant. I called Mr Nkhoahle and he advised me to speak to Mrs Dlangamandla. Mrs Dlangamandla is not taking my calls. I'm very stressed because I don't want to do bad things and I'm unemployed widow. I tried to raised my kids the way I was raised but he is not at school he will do wrong things. Please assist me ASAP. Thanks in advance.
