Dear all,
I was deeply moved after watching this programme.  Yes.  Many teachers are very reserved about children with learning difficulties as they are trained to teach normal children.  It is really very hard for us to seek for 'suitable' schools for our children.  My son is a 'marginal' boy.  He looks very normal but he has learning difficulties, e.g. poor attention (day dreaming) and writing difficulty.  I don't know what will happen when he is 18 years old.  Any way, it must be a hard journey.  

IT IS REALLY VERY GOOD TO SHARE OUR JOY AND SORROW HERE AS ALL OF US HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AND UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER MUCH BETTER.

Dear friends,
I am glad to have dinner with you all.  I am struggling very hard now.  Life is very difficult.  My son attends many training courses every week and he is exhausted in the evening.  Although there are so many things I want to teach him, he is too tired to learn at night.  

I am facing a dilemma --- to let him repeat N4 (he is now in N3) before he goes to P.1 or just send him to P.1.  If I let him repeat, he will be over-aged and cannot go to some good primary schools.  Can you give me some advice.

Dear 思佳媽咪,
Thank you very much for your advice.  If local school is of greater benefit to my boy, I will think about repeating N4 seriously.  In fact, my son performs very well in the social skill training group of Heep Hong and his gross motor skill is quite good.  His teacher says that he is attentive if he sits in front of the teacher.  Now, his major problem is writing.  I am anxious that he may have dyslexia.  It seems that my problem is endless.  Whenever I encounter a problem, I have to cope with it.  This life-long struggle is never ending.  

Dear mamee,
It happy to know that you live in my area.  Is your home close to Heep Hong Shaukiwan centre?  Do you join the training course of Heep Hong?  Most of the courses there are well-organised.  Some of the moms from Heep Hong comment that primary schools in our area are quite good to our special children.  So, there is no need to worry about the choice of primary school.  

May all of us here have the courage and wisedom to overcome all the difficulties in the future.

Dear maxnew,
Thanks a lot for your comfort.  I will join your dinner gathering to take a short break.

Dear Sing,
Moms from Heep Hong recommend
1. 勵志會梁李秀娛紀念小學 (excellent principal and teachers)
2. 筲箕灣崇真學校 (some Heep Hong members are studying there.  The school is good to those less able students.)

My child's teacher recommends
1. 天主教總堂區學校 (in Central) (excellent teachers)

2. Po Kok Primary School (in Happy Valley) (the Principal comes from a special school; she is supportive and caring)

My criteria are (1) small class size, (2) considerate teachers, and (3) good discipline.

Before you choose the school, try to contact the Principal and visit the school to see the  students there.

By the way, how old is your child?

Dear maxnew,
I have contacted some mums, but no one replies.  Any way, I will come for the dinner.

Dear HayBMum,
Yes.  However, it is located at Sheung Wan.

Dear HayBMum,
Although the school is willing to accept our children, we have to spend plenty of time to keep our eyes on them to quit their strange behaviour and way of thinking.  My current task is to train my boy to be 'normal' in his way of thinking and his social skill.
