[QUOTE="Andy, post: 432408, member: 5096"] I am a strong supporter of faith based learning. My children went to a very small faith based school. I am certain that my difficult child would not have gotten through his nightmare of a descend into the most severe anxiety had it not been for the staff at that school. However, you can find good and not so good staff anywhere you go. Often times it is a personality crash and those are hard to overcome. One would just hope that the discipline techniques and willing to work with the parents would be the same level at all faith based as it was at ours but no guarantee. Our school staff was willing to go the extra mile to work with each child on an individual needs basis. difficult child was not automatically "punished" but rather "guided" through the difficult days. I was involved every step of the way. I was told EVERYTHING (which broke my heart but I would not have been able to continue in guiding him at home if I was unaware of his behaviors at school) Anyway, the extra supports that kids get through the public schools can often times be extended to the private schools. These supports are for ALL children regardless of their place of schooling. I know several of the children at our school received supports through the public system with special teachers even coming to the school sometimes instead of figuring out how to get the child to them. That being said, not all private schools are set up to handle the extra supports, even if the public system could come to them. Each child's needs are different. The private school does not want to jeopordize the success of that support if they are unable to follow the guidelines for it. If you are leaning toward the faith based school, schedule a meeting with them to discuss your son's needs. If you know the specific helps the public school would extend, ask if they can accomodate them. If you don't know what services are available, ask the faith based school for their recommendations and what they have worked with in the past. (you can ask Head Start what they recommend as services before meeting with the faith based school) The meeting should show you to what extent that school can open their schedule to provide these supports to your child. Many times the faith based classes are smaller than the public classes and that in itself is HUGE!!! [/QUOTE]
