[QUOTE="Buglover, post: 515183, member: 14112"] Well believe it or not the principal from "10" called me last night. Long story short, she volunteerd with no prodding from me that "10" was much more rigorous than other schools, not for everybody, in fact only one of her 3 kids went there because it was too much for her other 2! So it DOES have a harder curriculum and I have been making poor barely-old-enough-with-sensory processing disorder (SPD) daughter go there. Principal also said there were hardly any Special Education/ADHD kids at "10" because it was too overwhelming for them. (It is not a neighborhood school, it is run completely by lottery system, so nobody just gets to go there based on where they live). Anyway, how frustrating, I feel like no matter how much I research and study things its not enough. But whew, so glad to be done with it. Today I get to go to her new school and get school supply list and stuff, talk to principal about IEP 504 things etc. tictoc yes I do get that vibe too, everybody drives very expensive cars and you can tell they think they are above having to deal with difficult kids. Its a turn off for sure! TerryJ2 I can't imagine dealing with a private school where parents are paying to have their kids educated in a "better" environment, that would stress me out. I think the school down the street will be best for my kiddo too! :) Confuzzled I will look that up, 2e. It is easy for her to get ahead in reading because its easy for her, also she is behind in math because she hates it. That should seem so obvious, shouldn't it? But it is such a struggle to get her to do stuff she doesn't like, and who wants to deal with a tantrum if it can be avoided? [/QUOTE]
