[quote=Anonymous]If you don't like your public middle and high school options, and you also don't like your private school options, why do you live there?

It sounds like the small privates are not appealing to you-- it would definitely be hard for me to pay tuition to a school I didn't think was good academically and wasn't preparing him for high school! And I wouldn't be so sure it would help him make friends. Small privates, especially really small ones, can be very hard for kids who struggles socially.

I think public may be your best bet in a tough situation. At least look into it. Maybe the team there is better than you think.

"Your @#$@# will not be tolerated" is basically the motto of all middle schools. It's SO common for middle schoolers to get into trouble as they do the developmentally appropriate testing of boundaries and learning to handle more freedom. I think you need to ask yourself if the things he might get up to are really problems that endanger or hurt anyone, or are they just annoyances. Because a certain amount of this comes with the package when you have a middle schooler regardless of diagnosis. And we parents have to accept that and adjust, hard as it may be![/quote]
