[QUOTE="Malika, post: 577443, member: 11227"] You see, this is what really has me thinking about a different kind of schooling, if I can find it, one where he will be understood and not punished. One where his strengths (which are many) are brought out rather than his frailties. To be fair, the two assistants who were on duty (not teachers, this is after school hours) are quite sympathetic, not the unnecessarily vindictive kind. I don't know exactly what went on, to be fair - it's quite possible J did more than tickle. Or it's possible that that's basically true. In any event, they treat J more or less as if he were a regular kid which is okay up to a point. But beyond that point it all goes a bit haywire. J is adamant he doesn't want to leave the school and seems to love going every morning... which DOES make it into a dilemma. It isn't just because it's what he knows. He would let me know if he didn't like it there, he really would. I am worried, TeDo, yes, about things getting worse in the conventional system. [/QUOTE]
