[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 148266, member: 2423"] Welcome. I'm glad you found us. You say your son sees a child psychiatrist. Does he have a diagnosis? Is he taking any medications? With a private school, you have to make certain that the school can meet your son's needs. If it can't and your son can't live up to the school's expectations, the school is under no obligation to keep him enrolled and you will have to find another school setting (sometimes in the middle of the year if an offense is severe enough). Do you know what kind of private school your son's psychiatrist is recommending? My own son is not a behavior problem, but he has a severe mood disorder that leads to emotional shutdown. He has been in a small private school since 7th grade, and he is currently a 9th-grader. At this point, he is doing little classwork or homework, and the school has decided not to offer him a place for 10th grade. We are currently starting the IEP process in our public school system because he will have a safety net in that the public school must educate him. Does your son have an IEP with his public school?
