[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 149438"] We had some difficulties with our child in the public school. However, she did have some really top notch teachers there and the curriculum was very good. However, the size of the classrooms was very tough. AND in my humble opinion, some of the teachers were struggling with classroom size, paperwork, etc. so her extra "stuff" was a lot for them to handle. We tried a variety of things, including partially homeschooling her. She went to the public school in the morning for two classes and I worked with her at home for the rest of the day. We did this for two years and it worked out wonderfully...but I found it too exhausting. The private school was better in some ways. We did that later. She got more individualized attention. However, it was not as good academically. Smaller size...quieter...nicer. It might be ideal for middle school. Consider a tutor if your child is needs help or if the school is substandard and you are hoping to put them back in public school or even more so if they hope to go to college later. There are lots of things to consider. IF you work with the public school...my advice would be to do the IEP, help where you can, be firm, but polite. Understand that most are tyring to help you out....but can also use your assistence. [/QUOTE]
