[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 129404, member: 3626"] Bugsy, I didn't assume that this school wasn't good for your son. It obviously was. However, it is also pretty obvious that they don't want your son. To me, given a choice of only being able to have one child there, I would opt for my daughter to be there. I say this for several reasons -- according to you, she has been robbed of a lot of her childhood because of her brother. To have to lose going to school with her friends because of him would, to me, be a true tragedy. She's thriving at this school. Whether it is your son or your daughter, both will be forced into an overcrowded school. Your daughter needs and deserves some special consideration if for no other reason than she will always get the short end of the stick for attention, etc. simply because her brother needs more. This is one area where you could be sure that she gets something back. As to the overcrowding and no one-on-one for your son in the public school, that may be true, but I'd check before I dismissed it out of hand. Find out the types of Special Education classes they have. Some for behavorial issues actually have the kids have recess and lunch at a different time from the main students. Even if they didn't, I'd still at least give it a try. As I said, they do have options that a private school wouldn't have. They are mandated to give him the best education possible. Public school might not be the best option but it may not be the worst, either. I'm sorry you are being forced into a choice like this. I'm even sorrier that your school is this callous. Considering they had told you that you would be getting some kind of aid and then totally reneging, I'd say it was giving you a very clear message, especially in light of we won't keep your son unless your daughter stays. They may have classes for special needs children, but that certainly doesn't mean they want them and, if they can find a way to get rid of a special needs child, they will. Sadly, it sounds like they have found a way for your family. I'm truly sorry. [/QUOTE]
