[QUOTE="Bugsy, post: 129424, member: 1680"] I agree with a lot of what as been said. Please understand that I have looked into the public schools in depth. I have asked a million questions and trust me when I say they are in no way able to give my son what he needs. When you speak of public education they DO NOT have to provide the best, they must provide satisfactory and that is a very subjective term. I sat in many meetings with child study members who would repeatedly turn down requests by teachers, parents and adminastrators because the request was not necessary or the data did not deem it needed and so on, even when reports showed the child was not doing well enough the request would not be considered because The districts have to provide a satisfactory, not excellent education. A very sad statement I think. I even said to a child study member-- so on a grading scale we must provide an education that would be graded as a C? That districts, schools, teachers, parents and so on expect us to produce children that show "excellence in education" , "lifelong learners" and a host of other buzz phrases but we only have to provide them with a medicore education. And the child study member repeated the phrase, "By law we have to provide a satisfactory education." Anyway, I really did not think this question would evoke as much emotion. I will find a way for both children to remain in the school. I will have to deal with the concept that the school's policy is disgusting and unfair to any other difficult child/easy child sibling that comes through. [/QUOTE]
