[QUOTE="Malika, post: 413584, member: 11227"] Right... which kind of leads on to another of my perennial wonderings about the best form of education for ADHD (or whatever the heck we call it) children. Presuming my son is typical, which I really have no idea about but just presuming it, then the highly structured, disciplined environment of a French state (public) school suits them very well, but the highly linear, rational curriculum much less so... I think of him as bright because he is perceptive and because he makes imaginative, surreal comments that make odd and creative links between things but he simply cannot learn days of the week, written numbers, colours, thinks it is "morning" when school is over, speaks English and French with a lot of his own constructions rather than grammatically and correctly and so... in terms of the conventional school system he is rather backwards and slow.... I used to wonder a lot about what form of education would be best - conventional or "alternative" - and still (of course) don't know the answer. [/QUOTE]
