[QUOTE="Andy, post: 169703, member: 5096"] That is good news! My difficult child also goes to a private school. I don't know how I would have made it through last year without it. The teachers were all really fantastic. They allowed him to do what was needed to get through the day. All I had to do was talk to them and they would go along with the plan. He was allowed to chew gum as needed, have gaterade/water at his desk at all times, go aside and journal if he was getting angry, ect. I never felt the need for an IEP because his educational needs were being met without one. Anything I asked for, the teachers would work with me on. They did their best to find ways to help difficult child understand the assignments (especially the math teacher). It upset me that difficult child was beginning to be disrespectful toward the end of the year (I am hoping that was the clonazepam talking and next year will be better without it.) Our school had a total of 18 kids 1st - 6th so difficult child did get the one to one he needed. There were 4 kids in his grade and 2 kids in 6th so with 6 kids in a classroom, all kids' needs are met and no one gets overlooked. When something/someplace feels right for our child, we need to follow that feeling and make it work. We have one of the top rated public schools in the state so I do get a lot of flack about not sending him to public. However, I know what is best for my child and I will not let peer pressure change that. As much as people push for public, I push right back for small classroom sizes. Each year the public classrooms grow with teacher cutbacks and I don't want my child to go through that if there is another option. [/QUOTE]
