[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, where did you end up?[/quote]

PP here. We found the perfect FCPS for DS, but will likely at some point go back to private. At that point, we will consider GDS, Field, and maybe one other school.

I will say this about having and ADHD child at a public school v. a private school -- the school is much better able to handle him and all his issues. The teachers and staff seem to be better prepared and with stronger leadership skills than his previous teachers. Not everything is perfect, but overall, he's just another kid with ADHD and not "problem" that they have to deal with because he is slightly different from the rest of the pack.

PP here again. Let me clarify that I meant the public school seems better prepared to work with ADHD students. My child isn't a trouble maker by any stretch, but there are definitely other kids in his class that I would say are ADHD but not medicated. The teachers stay in control and the kids get their work done. I've seen this several times when I've volunteered or been on a field trip.
