[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a school employee (not teacher) on page one and I bet it’s private school and it’s the first step in counseling you out. Your kid is fine, they just want easy, “advanced” kids.
Reading on to find out…[/quote]

After reading more, do you maintain your conclusion that the kid is pretty normal and the school is just trying to counsel him out?[/quote]

I’m a different teacher. Not possible for us to say. We don’t see the kid and we don’t know what the teachers see. So he may have concerns and issues, he may not, but the salient point is if they’re telling OP to get a neuropsych, they’re trying to push her son out. If the neuropsych reveals he has learning disabilities or special needs guess what- they don’t have to accommodate him and don’t want to. Privates don’t deal with IEPs, so they’re not trying to get him one - this is step one of trying to get him out of the school.

If she doesn’t get the neuropsych, or it’s not atypical, they’re going to eventually tell her he’s still struggling and it’s not a good fit. [/quote]

You don’t know what you are talking about.  My kid was at a [b]very rigorous academic private[/b] and they were  supportive in meeting her needs with respect to ADHD and slow processing.  In fact, we had a much easier time getting accommodations then friends in public because we did not have to deal with a bureaucracy.[/quote]

That is not a representative private school at all. [/quote]

But it is. . . I know a good number of kids at local privates with ADHD.  Sorry to disappoint you.[/quote]
