[quote=Anonymous]We moved from a high performing charter in DC with families we loved to MCPS. It was hard to make the decision to go, but we've never regretted it. DD was in first grade when we moved and the transition was very smooth. We suspected she had learning difficulties and we felt she needed to be in a larger system better equipped to address special needs if necessary.  At her charter she was doing OK. Not shining but not falling behind either. As a quiet, well behaved student, her learning and attention issues hadn't really surfaced yet. She was still young. At her MCPS elementary, her teachers immediately recognized her ADD and tested her without our pushing. While she didn't qualify for an IEP or a 504, the whole teaching team has rallied to support her. We have regular meetings with staff and her teacher gives her tons of individualized attention, even in a classroom with 28 students. When I volunteer, the classroom is orderly and on task with few discipline interruptions. DD's teacher sends links of math games to play with her. That was not the case at DD's charter. Everyone's experience is different, OP. This was ours. Follow your gut.[/quote]
