[quote=Anonymous]For us, we went to private because public was destroying his academic confidence and he had no friends. He hated school and was surly all the time. If your son loves school, I would consider stayin in public. You can continue to supplement with tutoring and add social skills group. There is no guarantee he will make “more” friends at a private, but even if he does , it’s not the same as neighborhood friends - ours are spread as far as a hour away. He probably needs time to decompress after school - one of my non-ADHD but more introverted kids is the same way. He really lets loose and needs a lot of downtime to himself during the week. I would question the necessity of a 6 year old having homework other than reading with you for 20 minutes. You don’t mention finances, but can you finance a $40-50k annually for 11 more years then college? If so, do it; if not, it sounds like you can wait. We switched when my kid was unhappy/showing signs of failure that the school couldn’t abate; is your son happy?[/quote]
