[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 318527, member: 805"] Terry, I moved my son from the private school he and easy child attended to public school when he was in kindergarden. I am a product of private school and easy child attended private school until high school. However, after three years in this private school (where his sister excelled) it was painfully apparent that my son would never be totally comfortable there. The way I described it back then was that they wanted little soilders all lined up in a box and my difficult child would never fit in that box! Moving him to public school was the best thing I ever did for difficult child! He struggled, the teachers struggled, I struggled - in hindsight I wished I have taken him out of there the first year. Fortunately, my difficult child doesn't have a memory of all the times he got in trouble (at least four bad days a week), the times he got blamed just because he was difficult child, the different way the teachers related to him, etc....... klmno has a really good point. By the time high school arrives, many of the students have had an IEP for some reason or another. If his IEP gives him a few mods and accoms, the others will probably never know. If it includes some special classes, it's not as big a deal as we parents think it is. The only issue I think your son would have is being the new kid. I know you say many of his friends attend the public school, but perhaps an outing to laser quest or something like that would be a good starting place before he starts there. Social bonding goes a long way for making a kid feel part of the group. Sharon [/QUOTE]
