[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 325498, member: 1550"] Marg, in our public schools in Wisconsin you can't even insist on an IEP. Remember that in the US, the government guidelines don't really apply to private schools, including how much education you need to have to become a teacher. Private schools can make their own rules and often don't want kids who are "different." My kids spent three frustrating years at a private school, which turned out to be more inflexible than an Aspie :happy:. They did a little tutoring, but that was it and it wasn't enough for either of my kids. I thought "You get what you pay for" but that is just not always the case and was not with us. The government is limited in the US. See my paragraph below about homeschooling. Bet you'll be shocked, but it's true. If you homeschool in Wisconsin (not all states are like this) you never have to check in with the state. Your child never needs to be tested to make sure he's keeping up. You don't have to really tell anybody what you are doing. All you have to do is send a note to The Department of Public Education to say that you're homeschooling, and that is the end of involvement from any form of government. We did this too for a year. I could have sat at home and let them watch cartoons all day and nobody would have known the difference. The state is not allowed to interfer. [/QUOTE]
