My son is in a private school, it's expensive, religious and 12 kms from home, but we had no choice
The school in our village is terribly bad, the results are so bad, there is no education there, so since 2 years he is in this private school.
I can't work the hours i want/need to, i refused some jobs because of that because i need to drive him there ..... no bus ..... So it's a lot of sacrifices, and for the price too, it's so expensive, but as i said we had no choice.

Now i must said, the change in my son is great, he can work properly by himself, take care of his books etc ... write correctly, knows the rules, no fights with "friends", they know they can't there, they'd be punished right away
Really, no regret.

I hope our school near the house will change when Rachel needs to go there but unfortunely i don't think so, so she'll go to James' school too. I'll need a better salary then


Not only to see with the kids but parents of course and TEACHERS !

My son has an IQ of 137 (something like that), he passed the tests when he was 6. I consider he is "intelligent".
That's why we said yes when a psychologist proposed to test him, because his results was not very good but he appeared to be a very clever kid. In fact he used to work only when the subject was interesting for him ... as an example he found results of equation but he couldn't explained in fact .... He's sometimes not mature like other kids of his age and he is a very very sensitive child.

Some teachers in public school can deal with kids like him, but the reality is that the "normal system" is not adapted for kids like him, sad.
In the school he is (we first had a meeting with the director and teachers to see if they could have him in the school) they are very interested by the situation and they adapt sometimes to those kids. (he's not the only one) We are informed about everything, in fact the communication between the school and the parents is one of the keys of success.

We've been told to send him in a system like Montessory or other schools for "genius" we are lucky because we have one here at 30 kms but 400 euros per months !!!!!!!!!!!! we just can't !

I think with a good communication with the teacher and a good work, not always different but adapted to the kid it can work fine. No matter if it's in a private school or not. But it's true that the teachers in the public are rarely concerned enough to do a good job with kids who are not exactly like all the others ...... i met only two in 6 years .....

In the private school where my son is i can be sure we all "work together", i knew it when i met the director and the team, i trusted them and maybe i could have found this in a public school, but i had just 2 month to find one school ..... i stopped searching when i found this one.
