[quote=Anonymous]I've been there. Applied to the two private schools that the therapists recommended, and was rejected from both. Tried to get in recommended charters in DC, but our lottery positions were terrible. I cried a lot. Depending on how old your child is, the biggest concern is their reaction to the rejection. I saw this Facebook meme that Thomas Edison's mom told Edison that a school letter said, "Your son is a genius. He is too smart for this school." when it actually did not say anything close to that. I don't know if that's a true story or not. I'm pretty sure I would tell the same story to my kid though. I just started talking to everyone I know -- "I need help finding a school for Larla." It actually didn't take long until I got suggestions that hadn't been on my radar but should have been. [/quote]
