[QUOTE="wintak, post: 429133, member: 11938"] I have easy child#1 who is not a difficult child (thank goodness) but does have needs like doesn't do well in chaos, is somewhat sensitive to sound (and chaos) so we did find a private school for her that would be less chaotic and less loud and help her with her educational goals (she's HGT) . We have toyed with putting in difficult child in a private school but...some of the private schools do not want problem kids (and wouldn't take difficult child) and some private schools lack the ability to help those with academic or behavioural problems. I ended up with a charter school and while the classes are larger than I would like, this particular one DOES have the capacity to deal with difficult child which has been a godsend over last year. Oh the stories I have about getting him help last year via the school system... There is another private school that is open to taking difficult child but I'm not sure he's on board. He was LOVING the school on the day he visited because he was treated like a KING. Then I broke the news that that school does have homework and does have rules and such...then he wasn't as excited. Some privates do have lots of financial aid. Are you in an area where you can opt in to a different school that might not be your neighborhood school that might be better able to deal with difficult child? [/QUOTE]
