What do you want to know? From our daughters experience she thinks it is great! Loves school, was bored silly in England! Here they put her up a year to Year 7, no problems at all. Excellent report etc, keeping up and exceeding in some areas. However it is a challenge. For example when it comes to history, obviously they have different stuff to learn. I have spent time at her school and find they learn by participation more than in England. They also seem to do more projects etc, do presentations and learn life skills without knowing it. It will vary from school to school, all I can say is from our point of veiw we are all very happy!!

I agree with all of that.

My only critisism is lack of funding for kids on the autistic spectrum, they have to fall really behind before anything is done and that stinks However if your kids are fully functioning you'll be right

Yes Hevs I shall agree with that, I picked that up very early on whilst doing my stint in Tuckshop! However it is like the UK some schools are brilliant and others could be done for neglect!! In this day and age and with the knowledge that is out there you would think the system would be switched on!!
