Algeria: How I can integrate my kids in Algerian school:

You are not alone. The Algerian public school system recognizes that these children have difficulties and will give students coming home from overseas dispensation from taking exams in languages they don't understand yet. That takes some pressure off of the students while they are struggling to learn Arabic especially. Private schools vary, but I don't think you should expect to find a specialized teacher. Language instruction should start at home with a tutor or in a language school (and immediately!), then continue once the child is in school. For private schools, The Ministry of Education will decide what grade level the child will be placed in, but schools will vary whether the student will stay in their class or attend with lower grades until their language skills improve. This is an very personal choice and really requires someone to be in Algeria visiting schools in order to make the best decision. I hope that helps!

Algeria: Internet Romance:

You have every right to find out the background of this guy--as worried parents it is your responsibility! The fact that he is keeping it secret from his family is not at all a good thing for your daughter. Does he have a Facebook page? You could start there. You could also post his name here--Maybe somebody knows him? Do you know what part of Algeria he is from? Ask your daughter what town he is from originally or what part of Algiers if he is from the capital. I would also ask around on Algerian forums on Facebook. He will most likely get wind of the fact that you are checking up on him, but his reaction will show his true intentions. I would not sit idly by...
