[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 379030, member: 3419"] thank you all. I am certain we will get the tuition refunded for everything but Aug and Sept. Normally, I would fight it, but as Marg said, they moved the goalposts, and quite frankly, I am going through this same issue with-a private bond fund that turned out to be a hedge fund, that I bought using my cousin's $. The broker, who was a biz acqaintance "friend," talked me into it, knowing that his biz was on the rocks. I am going through a fed gov't investigation (FINRA) and it's the exact same thing. The contract I signed was written for an "expert," not someone like myself. There were things in it that were simply impossible to uphold. There must be something inherently vacuous about my nature, or something innately naive, that I keep getting pulled into these sorts of things. At any rate, I don't know that I have the energy to fight two battles like this. I was up until 11:30 last night, scanning in about 20 pp of the bond document and sending ea p separately because the hearings are going on. I am confused; I thought the hearings were in Norfolk, VA but they are in Philadelphia, PA. I may have to fly up there. I do agree, that this is going to be a very good thing for difficult child, once we get the lumps smoothed out. This school cannot possibly say that they are equipped to handle Aspies. No matter how strongly they defend it. I didn't know that private, Catholic schools could get federal funding. I will call the Richmond diocese to find out tomorrow. It would be useful to at least get them to drop the spec needs program that they pretend to have. One thing difficult child noticed in the past yr was that their fundraisers only raise a certain amt of $ for the school. The rest goes to charity. Kids don't normally notice those things but he has said on many occasions that they are going to always be poor if they continue like that. He said they should keep their $ like the private school he went to 2 yrs ago, LOL! The private school had specific fundraisers, for example, if it was Operation Smile, it would simply said Operation Smile. If it was for the computer lab, it would say that. But his current school tends to mix and match and I'm thinking that's part of their mission statement. FWIW. We went to the psychiatric today and talked about computer time and lack of motivation for anything other than computers. We also talked about how difficult child wakes up around 5 a.m., eats, then goes back to bed and is too exhausted to get up at 7. We all asked difficult child why he didn't just stay up at that hr? And he said he was too tired. So we are changing his medications a bit, adding in more clonidine. The dr also suggested no lights in the bedroom.
