[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 104301"] I am concerned for him. I have ruled out a few. Even though I feel one of the schools would be a good fit for him, it is the only high school with a baby-lab, so single high school mothers can attend school. There is individualized accelerated classes. However, it is in the center of the city, and most of the students are "hardened". difficult child isn't even 13 yet. (9 days). He isn't as mature as others in his grade. He yearns for friends, and I believe would be influenced to easily. E-school, I learned is also available to just take a class and not the entire curriculum. That MAY be an option for a class, but not for the school year. My biggest problem is that the two "choice" schools that specialize in a particular technology, isn't the school, isn't the size or even the location. The problem I struggle with is difficult child has not shown any interest in these technologies. ONLY that his "friends" are going there. To me that is not a reason to choose a particular school. I will attend the schools open houses. I will probably meet with someone from the schools. So true about the IEP's. Some teachers just don't care. Some don't want to get it. And I do communicate with the teachers atleast on a weekly basis. Given difficult child's recent sadness, tic's, anxiety, I am not requesting progress reports at this time. I am not discussing school. That seemed to be the only topic at home for several weeks. Going to just let it be for now. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
