[QUOTE="Malika, post: 700744, member: 11227"] So do you not have in the States the equivalent of what they call SEMH schools in the UK ( = social, emotional and mental health) or ITEPs ( = educational, therapeutic centres) in France as an alternative to ordinary schools? They have different sorts of curriculums, much more practically based, with very small class sizes. As I say, I have decided that this is the only viable option for my own son because he now cannot manage ordinary school - too big classes, he cannot deal with sitting down all day learning largely boring things that he does not understand (despite his intelligence). They are nominally for children with behavioural problems - some are poorly run with disruptive classes and lots of violence, swearing, etc but some are excellent, achieving real turnarounds in some kids behaviour and prospects. Finally they are understood and accepted as they are rather than constantly in trouble and punished for being as they are. Of course they are full of kids with diagnoses of this and that, and a lot of ADHD. Do these not exist in the States? [/QUOTE]
