[QUOTE="Malika, post: 606807, member: 11227"] Thanks for that. Very interesting to know your experience! J doesn't mind the school. The problem is that it's... same old, same old. In other words, it's just as bad as the school in France in terms of ignorance of and unwillingness to work with him as he is, difference and difficulties and all. Despite what the principal says in her advertising, it's just one size fits all... In one week, we have had Humiliating put-downs and judgements in front of him Refusal to listen to fact that he is exhausted after school and cannot do three big pages of reading and questions for homework... The principal clearly hasn't read any of the documents I provided - letters and recommendations from the experts in France Today, he was kept in at break times because he hadn't finished his work and because he said "I couldn't care less about reading and writing"... well, it's just a fact. He can't care less about it at the moment. They are not helping him care about it in any way, as far as I can see. In addition, the principal asked to talk to us both after school to tell us off, as it were, about him not finishing his work and say he must be punished. It's all bull**** I've had it with their stupidity and arrogance, truly I have. And after reflection and discussion with friends, I am doing something radical... I am pulling him out of the school and I am going to provide teaching for him, probably some of it myself. He is so bright, there are so many possibilities, being shamed and ridiculed for his concentration and impulsivity problems just isn't acceptable. So... [/QUOTE]
