You're looking for complexity where there is none, OP. This is a business who wants its money, and is legally entitled to it. They are not equipped to deal with your kid. Whether their assurances that they can care for your kid are just to justify enforcing their contract, or because they sincerely believe they can help him... who knows? Maybe different people in the school believe different things. The teachers who had your kid previously may know he's not a good fit, but can't say so to your face, can they?

The other parents are perfectly entitled to love the school. It works for THEIR kids, doesn't it?

I have a twice exceptional kid and a gifted kid. I have direct experience with seeing one kid fail and one kid flourish with exactly the same teacher or the same environment. Therefore I KNOW not to blame others too much. Had I not had my non-SN kid, I might be like you, bitter and resentful.

But I understand that many times, there is no one to blame and no one to point fingers at. Some kids are just extremely challenging to deal with. Mine will never find an optimal environment, and I've made my peace with that. We do the best we can to accommodate him, but in the end, he has to go through life with handicaps. He's in college now. It's been a rough road, and will keep being a rough road. The challenges change with time, but they don't cease.

I wouldn't ruminate about all this or hate the school. Focus on what's next for your kid. Don't repeat the same mistakes, goodness knows new ones are waiting to be made.
