[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 429093, member: 6557"] If the reason you are putting him in private school is medical based it is a good strategy. Emotional/ Behavioral issues do fall within mental health. If he did well in the private school before you might consider trying again if you can afford it, and can get in. We also pulled our kids out of the public system because they kept getting threatened and we felt the public school was not safe or addressing their individual needs. Our youngest is also in a small church based school with less then 100 kids and class sizes less then 10. I found that most of the affordable private schools were religious based. Which was not what I was looking for, but have found seems to work for us. In the small school they seem to have the approach that "God is testing us, and we need to save this sole". Therefor they seem willing to do what ever needs to be done to get him on track. I would rather have professional teachers who understand the issues better, but devoted teachers are working for us. We have found that the educational requirements are much higher in the private schools, but they also provide more support to meet them. There also seems to be a much stronger emphasis on being a responsible and ethical citizen. Cost is a major factor, it is a huge investment, and you do need to ask if it is worth the price. It works better when the student is on board. If he absolutely will not participate then no it is not worth the price. And, if he does not shape up some it may be harder to get into a private school. On the other side, we have found the private route worked better for us. [/QUOTE]
