[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440108, member: 11227"] Because he's frightened of her, I think - frightened of her reaction if I "tell". I don't know that hitting is openly tolerated in schools. A blind eye is turned, one can put it like that. I did a little google search on "my teacher is hitting my child" (in French, obviously) and it came up with quite a few responses, these kind of stories. Interestingly, the complainer often becomes the subject of persecution and villification... and so it goes... Marg, your approach is sound. Trouble is, I'm not particularly well suited to it! Have never been much good at hiding the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth (as I see it, needless to say :)). And I don't know how credible I could be asking disingenuously: "Do you know why he might be reacting like this?" But I think you're right - I think it's wiser to describe his reaction of cowering in fear and NOT that J has told me that she hits him. Another dilemma - do I tell the parents of the other little boy she hits on the head? In J's class, there are just five children - two boys and three girls. Probably largely under J's influence the two boys are always up to mischief and on the far side of the law... :) One of the hesitations about doing a moonlight flit now is that I am seriously considering returning to Morocco or going to England to live in autumn 2012. I therefore don't want to impose yet another change on J before then... Thanks all for your insight and support. I appreciate it so much! [/QUOTE]
