J had an appointment with a neuro-paediatrician at the local hospital today. I had left a note about it in the notebook where parents leave any messages for the teacher, saying I would pick him up at 3.30 today. When I arrived at the school, I was told all the children had gone out looking for seeds! I drove around a bit looking for them but no success. I guess the teacher must have forgotten.
I had to ring the hospital to cancel the appointment and was told the next one is not until the end of January. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing but I don't really mind about this missed appointment... It is by way of a kind of second opinion re J, but I don't know that it's going to really help any. I will go to the next appointment, if we are still here then but now I am seriously considering returning to Morocco in January for six months, and continuing to teach J to read myself, as well as doing other learning stuff with him!! He is struggling along with the reading, making slow progress, but it's clearly not the optimum time or method for him to start reading.
And then... I would like him to speak fluent Arabic. And now is the optimum time for language learning...
