[QUOTE="Malika, post: 576582, member: 11227"] And to tell the truth (I'm probably saying this because we've had a basically good period since returning from the holiday in Morocco: will this be famous last words?), I don't know whether I would change anything about J, good or bad. He is SO sweet and funny, really the sweetest and funniest child I've ever met, and I kind of admire the tremendous strength of personality that lies behind his oppositionality and obstinacy, even though I don't at all enjoy those things in themselves. Would I prefer for things to be easier for him at school? Well, yes, but then in a way the problem isn't really him it's the system that is geared only towards a one-size-fits-all education. If only I could have foreseen all this, I would not have put him in a conventional school at the beginning. But I couldn't and I didn't - and if nothing else, he's got beautiful handwriting out of it :) [/QUOTE]
