[QUOTE="Malika, post: 460019, member: 11227"] Hi HaoZi - how's it going? Thanks for the suggestion but... I think I've gone as far as I can go with extending this teacher's cultural and other horizons by getting her to read the little book on hyperactivity in French. Giving her a book in English (no idea if she speaks any!) set in another culture would, I fear, be a bridge too far :) But like I say, I am at this stage really not complaining and apologies if I have given that impression... She is aproving much more open than I might initially have thought. Since I also envisage staying on in the village and J at the school for only another year, there is also no point in getting all worked up about things at this stage. Softly, softly catchee monkey... Incidentally, amazing how much tougher skinned I have got. There's a little boy in the village, aged 7, who goes to the same school and that J has occasionally played with in the village. Last night he came to the house to play and when I asked him whether his parents knew he was with us he said (with all the disarming honesty of a 7 year old) that his parents didn't want him to come to our house to play with J and that if they knew he was there, he would be grounded. Once upon a time this would have really upset me - now I just think, well, they are really over-reacting, and I wonder what they are worried about and then I let it go... [/QUOTE]
