[quote=Anonymous]I do and I don't know how I could ask my young (elementary school age) kid to do more than that.  He already complains about the bus and he attends a school that's reasonably close to home but I see that a placement change is on the horizon for us and I know that there are few options nearby for his needs.  I can't imagine sending him across the Potomac (I'm being purposefully vague here).  There are already so few opportunities for him to make friends in his current school--no social life on the weekends among families,  few parties,  attempts to arrange this by email are sometimes not even answered.  Plus there's no time for private therapies if the whole afternoon is spent on a long bus ride home.  If you made this choice for your kid what was the result?  Was a better school worth it?  I can't even imagine moving because a few years ago we thought the current school was the "one" that was going to fix everything,   (And it's not us being unhappy with the current school it's that the programs he needs simply don't exist there).
