[QUOTE="Malika, post: 440405, member: 11227"] Yes, more good advice, Marg. Getting involved is some kind of key - I've done a little in the way of that, helping with the swimming and the school fete. And teaching English would be a great idea except that you get the feeling that the teaching is definitely a "hands off" area with this teacher. I could be wrong - that is the impression she has given me. The thing is that I definitely don't see us staying in the village long term. I have given myself a year maximum to sort out the way ahead. I am so sickened/demoralised by the idle maliciousness of my immediate neighbours that it is all I can do to even stay that year... (Latest was an overheard conversation - I hear everything from my desk near the window! - between one neighbour and the nothing-better-to-do lady downstairs, as part of my house is on top of part of theirs, alas. She is outside clattering something metal about. "Did he break it?" asks one neighbour - I know immediately he is talking about J. "Yes - but what can you do? She lets him get away with everything!" the charming lady replies - thereby managing to badmouth J and me in one fell swoop! It is all lies; J has not been out anywhere unsupervised in the village for over two weeks... ) At the moment, I suspect we will go back to Morocco in autumn 2012. I do not want J to grow up feeling this exclusion and prejudice. And in Morocco he would become fluent in Arabic but continue to be taught in French. Three languages - a big advantage in his life. So... I'm not too concerned about fitting right in with this village. Another small dilemma - should I inform the parents of the other little boy who is being hit?? [/QUOTE]
