[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why on Earth would you send away your child with a LD? That's a child you should hold close [/quote]

Absolutely agree. Sounds the height of insanity. Poor kid.[/quote]

This is such an ignorant statement.  Learning differences are things like dyslexia, executive function (scheduling/organizational) issues, adhd, etc.  There are schools that are designed to help bring out the best in students with those educational challenges.  And, while we're at it, there are also schools that are most likely the best place to help bring out the best in children with special mental or physical needs too.  Holding a child close isn't always the answer.  Helping them prepare for life outside of your bubble is often the best form of parenting.  Please stop judging other parents for having the sense to understand that they are not the experts and for loving their children enough to explore all options.

OP - I think it's brave and wonderful that you were willing to subject yourself to the nasty, hateful comments made by people that should have just skipped the post in an attempt to find the best fit and environment for your child.  Best of luck.[/quote]
