[QUOTE="Malika, post: 580232, member: 11227"] Thanks, buddy! Your input gratefully received... Thinking things through, there is basically ONE school in Marrakech, where my friends and contacts are and where I'd like to return, that could work for him. It follows the French national programme and is kind of like going to school in France BUT there are tiny numbers. Maximum 10 in the class he would be in, probably fewer. I phoned the principal today (I met her when I went to visit the school at Christmas) and put all my cards on the table, because I have to do this... Open communication from the beginning!!! I explained that he is diagnosed hyperactive and a little bit of what that meant and would that be something they could work with? She sounded a little doubtful at first but seemed more open at the end of the conversation - she said, yes, in principle but I would need to come in to visit with J to see how things were. She is Belgian, an ex primary school teacher, and said she had taught an autistic child but never a hyperactive one. I said that in some ways there were similarities... So if it were to work out with this school, it would not be any WORSE than where he is now. And what I liked about the school - total about 40 kids, just like the village school - is that the children are very cosmopolitan and international. Lots of different nationalities and different races. This is good. [/QUOTE]
