[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 160454, member: 1233"] Terry, I think you just have to look at what was right and wrong with the placement, then form your questions from that. We have 3 choices in our town for middle school. The public school which neither of my older kids did well at. Wiz actually ended up in psychiatric hospital BECAUSE of the actions of the ED teacher!! Jess was diagnosis'd with epilepsy the first year in middle school. She also had some other problems show up. They told us less than 9 weeks into the year that she could not get accomodations because she hadn't had them in elementary (total bs, I know) and that she would have to repeat 6th grade because she had so many doctor appts out of town (there are NO specialists in this town so it is a a day's drive to see ANY specialist). There is a Christian private school. They are very good academically. BUT we are a different religion and it is a big deal to the kids who attend. It is also a big deal to my husband. So she will not attend that school. It is also extremely expensive. The other option is homeschooling. We have found books/resources in all kinds of places. If she is not physically up tosomething, we do something else. If she is clearly having lots of seizures, we watch a movie - she CAN'T learn when she is blanking out of things over and over. It gives us the opportunity to tailor things to what SHE needs. It has worked for us, but isn't for everyone. She will go to the Jr High here. It is a very different place, much better for the kids who go there. Just because we homeschool for a couple of years doesn't mean it is the right answer for every year. Susie [/QUOTE]
