[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 695099, member: 8617"] We have been lucky with the parochial school, very lucky. We live in a rural area so many of the staff have or have had their kids or family members go to school there. My daughters first grade teacher was my husbands first grade teacher too. It is one big extended family. The teachers and I often communicate by text. ALL of the kids have impeccable manners and are closely cared for. The public school, only one in district is ridiculously overcrowded, classes with 30+ students. There are 2 to 3 classes for each grade. Plus, she would likely get teased mercilessly. School sucks when you are different. I'm afraid she would get lost academically in a sea of kids. We actually do have an iep and it is set up as much as is possible at the public school, within their abilities. The speech teacher is young/inexperienced. They meet twice a week for 20 minutes and I am happy with that. This district is notorious for crappy services. After serious battles for the oldest I know what we do get is as good as it will ever get. On the plus side, due to class size the parochial school kids are always ahead of the curve. Once they transition into high school they are almost exclusively in AP classes. So, she wouldn't be bottom of the heap at public school. I am thankful for that. Thank you for the idea to keep records and a journal. Sometimes there are so many details that it's hard to keep it straight. I also like the idea of trying to switch things up. I'm just afraid to take sanity breaks because we could start over with a second meltdown. Her work load is short but she makes it so much longer than it needs to be. Edited to add: do doctors actually take the time to look over such detailed documentation? [/QUOTE]
