[QUOTE="Malika, post: 439888, member: 11227"] Thanks all for your input. The article you found, Susiestar, seems to sum it up. So-called "light correction" is quite widely practised and tolerated, it seems. I really don't know what to do. My immediate neighbour is poisonous and I feel increasingly unhappy here (this morning heard her telling another villager that J had broken something of hers, but what could you expect since I allow him complete freedom and let him do whatever he wants? This a complete lie as J has not been out unsupervised for two weeks or me - not even for a moment...). Wild thoughts of leaving this area altogether, going to a large town in France (where I have just one friend!) where there is an alternative school that is one I would in any case like for J in the longer term (not necessarily in this town), go back to Morocco... Going to England at this point is not possible for all sorts of reasons, not least to do with visas for England - I won't bore you with the details... I do feel the hitting on the head is completely unacceptable. But it is J's cowering in fear from adults who scold him that really has me worried... That means it's habitual, frequent and frightening to him. I know this sounds lily-livered but going to confront her will lead nowhere good... and she will deny it, more to the point. Will it get her to stop? If there is no legal recourse, if she is not doing anything illegal, there is nothing I can threaten... I need to think good and hard about this. Other than that, J has been so happy in the school, loves going, loves his routine there. This is not an easy decision. [/QUOTE]
