[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 499647, member: 11847"] Malika, I understand better now. It reminds me of a conflict I had not to long ago: breastfeed Occupational Therapist (OT) bottle feed Sweet Pea. My "crunchy" nature knew that breastfeeding was way better. Afterall, I had battle to breastfeed V despite a lot of obstacles (Partner was also breastfed but with no issues). I finally had to accept that my second choice (in this case bottle feeding) was the BEST choice for Sweet Pea. Yes: you dream of a very liberal education for J, but your instinct tells you it is not the best choice for him. I went through the French educational system, than University and then went on the get my elementary school teacher license (did not finish the last 2 months as I moved to the US). Is our system perfect? NO. But it is a GOOD system that teaches you how to think for yourself, how to problem solve, how to structure your arguments and analysis. I was very well prepared compared to my fellow german students (studied 3 years in Germany as part of my curriculum). "Regular" school has not failed J yet. Maybe have some faith that things will be fine at school. I don't want you to take the wrong way... I do trust your Mommy's gut. But sometimes it is hard to just stand by, watch and cross our fingers that everything will be fine. [/QUOTE]
