[QUOTE="Malika, post: 587519, member: 11227"] His head is fine, thanks. The bleeding has stopped and, yes, tomorrow we will have to go and get his head shaved... Well, we are sort of moving, in this gypsy lifestyle. Going to Morocco for the next term and then staying the summer. J is really "behind" the little girls in his class who are all now reading fluently while he is still stumbling over syllables and not making any sense of what he reads. I've spoken to the principal of the French nursery he went to when he was three and he can return there for one term, in the class of the 5 to 6 year olds, where the children are learning to read but are at about the same stage as he is. Before we go I am going to visit some alternative schools in a different part of France - Montessori and Waldorf - and this is hopefully where we will return to in September. I am now quite certain that an alternative school is what J needs, from both an emotional and a learning point of view. The conventional school is clearly not working for him and is only going to get harder and harder, more and more constraining and unnatural to him. We were supposed to have a neuropsychological evaluation today but I had to postpone it. There are certainly learning differences going on. I just feel another style of learning will suit him much better. [/QUOTE]
