[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We talked to current families and decided not to go that route. The 3rd grade only has six students. Six students and two teachers should be great, but there are a few kids with significant behavioral issues that bring the class to a halt. Our kid gets along with ASD kids, but also needs some neurotically peers.

So instead we are shoveling out the big bucks for a private with a specialized reading program. [/quote]

My child was there a few years ago and this describes our experience. On paper, it was perfect with fantastic ratios. In reality, there were a couple/few kids who had extreme behaviors that took up all of the teacher’s time. It also meant that the teacher did not have time to actually teach. The teacher was frustrated but that’s just the nature of the program. In hindsight, I should have left my child in her home school and upped the tutoring.

Be careful before you accept any placement. Try to observe the actual class your child will be placed in [/quote]
