I guess its time to do something against some schools in Dubai. We are paying high school fees, are treatend like criminals when our children doesnt behave like the school wanted and forcing us to pay for a shadow wich should be a second Assistant for the teacher and not in REAL focunsing only on an individual child as his parents are paying for it. Lets be honest and look back to our childhood. I raised in Europe, went to Kindergarten with 3 years and was there till turned 6 years. And I was just playing and enjoying all group works with the teachers we had. No one of us was pushed to stop playing or to be forced to write letters or having any homework. They teach us how to interact socially and how to understand the feeling of another child and needs. And we were very happy. With six and half went to Gr.1 and it was a new world for me and was happy to go to school as I was old enough to understand the rules of a school enviremet. Look to our children now, what kind of a childhood they have??? Most of children are sick or diagnosed with Autism, SID, ADD or other issues. In KG1 they start to write and are forced in some schools to start reading+ doing homework??? In what kind of world are we living now if the childhood of our children is taken by such schools or by people who named themselves professionals???? And whenever I start to talk to such professionals!! The only answer y get is, we are in Dubai and things are different???? AT the end, such professionals who are thinking they understand the world better then we parents and judge about our children without to know them personally and force us to do things because we are stock and dont have another choice. Such people are mostly forgetting their own childhood and how they were behaving in younger ages!! EINSTEIN was a hyperactive child and was very bad at schools, at the end he was a genius and changed alot in our world. Who could understand him at that time??? But our children should be understood in this time we are living in and should be really professional people who understand the needs of a child. Before I go to be a teacher, I should go and leran the Psyco of child and how to deal with him.. In many cases, situations are getting just worse by teachers who could not and who are no trained enough to understand a need of a child or what is his problem. Schools are putting high amount of fees and bringing in a teacher for 5000-6000AED wich is not qualified enough to be a teacher...

Dear All :-) After an advise from the school, our son did the educational test and the Psycologue found out that he has language delay wich leads to his frustration some times in the class room. Since approx 2 years we are suffering with schools and he is a bright intellegant child. His vision has a higher quote than his age level after testing him and the doc said that with a special Language therapist he will soon be confident in his language. The most important thing is that we are facing these problems only in the school envirement!! And as parents we always suffer to get to know what is going on in the school. When asked the teacher, she just say that either she was busy in a talk with another teacher or she couldnt fugure out what happen that we can help or follow up on the situation. He is going since six months to an OT. And she couldnt see any behavioural issue in interacting with other children who has Autism and other issues.. Our main problem is now, that the Doctor said that he could have a shadow teacher for a term or two. And he doesnt need a shadow for every day and for full time. It should be only on a sertain time plan per day. Now the school is insisting to have a shadow for 5 days a week and full time!!! Myself I was observin for one week in the classroom and saw that other kids, at least 3 kids who were behaving badly and were warned at least each 15 min by the teacher. Our confusion here as a parent: Why does such kids have no shadows??? Or because the school is seeing that from our income, we are the only parents who might are stupid to pay for a full time Shadow wich will work at the end not only with our child but to keep an eye also on the others!!! When asked the school that we dont want our son to know that this person is there for him and not to get attached or our child get used to the person, will be again difficult to remove her!! The answer we got is: well she will just guide him into the group wich he never had a problem with it and work sometimes with him and should cover his teacher back free. Wich means, whenever another child behaves bad, she shall step in..means she will not be there for him only as he is a very independent child but also for the other wich is anfair and we have to pay for it. Furthermore: We have to pay the full school costs wich are really high plus 5000AED for a shadow/month!!???? At the end the teacher will be free and the shadow is doing the job, so why should we pay approx 55000,- for the shadow per school year and 34000AED for the school???? This is really not FAIR. And if we start to fight with the school, we can go again and look for another school and its not FAIR for the child even to have a lot of transfers and at the end its the child who will suffer...
