[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read really fast but is her point that she had to leave the public school system and go private to help her daughter?

No. Her point is that the system is difficult to navigate, legalistic and that schools aren't set up to handle bright kids with LDs very well. It sounded to me like PGCounty schools are paying for a private placement for her daughter at the high school level, but that she'd been in neighborhood schools up to that point.[/quote]

Where did you get that PG county schools were paying for the private placement?  I didn't get that at all.  I thought her family had decided to pay in order to get out of the extremely frustrating non-functioning public school system that was mostly offering her options that wouldn't work for her kid's disabilities.[/quote]

Yes, because she talked about raiding her retirement savings.

I think her point was how few choices there are for kids with learning disabilities and above average intelligence. Which based on our experience, is certainly true.[/quote]
