[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 242678, member: 2423"] My son went to a private school for middle school and ended up being asked to leave during 9th grade (because he was not engaged and completely shutdown -- he's an internalizer rather than an externalizer). As Sheila said, private schools do not have to abide by Special Education, and there are no protections for your child. Is there any way you could convene an IEP meeting to explore whether your difficult child's needs, as detailed in his IEP, can be met in the large public middle school? Perhaps there are smaller programs within the public school system that would better meet this needs. My own son is now placed in a small self-contained program housed in a large public high school for socially and emotionally fragile high schoolers. In your shoes, I would not tell your son he was not accepted to the private school because of his behavior (if that indeed happens). I would tell him that you, as his parents, decided the private school would not be able to meet his needs. [/QUOTE]
