[quote=Anonymous]Yeah it's on the table for sure. So is homeschooling the academics and getting private therapy, actually. I'm going to have him assessed for an IEP and see what they would do with him.

Our public school has 25-27 kids in first grade with a part time aide and from my experience trying to get them to evaluate my older child they are comfortable tolerating a level of disruptive behavior that I think my child could learn to not do. They also have low academic achievement, largely due to a high percentage of ELL and poverty rather than teaching skill to my understanding. I don't think it's a "bad school" in terms of safety or anything like that, and I actually think it's good when schools are comfortable with a wide range of children, but my particular child can be irritable and non compliant and is very resistant to things that are hard, and my concern is that in a school with so many different needs he would just slip through the cracks because it's just so much easier to let him do easy stuff where he isn't really learning anything but at least he isn't screaming.

I hear you on the impossibility of the recommendations. I actually think it's probably a good recommendation for him, but yeah, it's not very practically helpful if it doesn't exist. 😆[/quote]
