I think your child was counseled out appropriately.  It wasn't done because your family receives aid it was because the school can't meet his needs.

Other kids might behave badly but if it's just crappy behavior of a NT kid that is something different than a child with autism.

We are a financial aid family at a private school and we sacrifice a lot to pay our portion of the tuition.  We do it because our public options are bad and quite frankly I expect the school to maintain a student body that they can reasonably serve academically and behavior wise without taking away from my child.

I agree that it was appropriate for my child to be counseled out. The WAY that they counseled him out was reprehensible. Some of the things that the staff said about him and TO him were demeaning and cruel. They let other children tease and humiliate him. This was at the same time they were singing their own praises about the caring, family-like feel of the school, and how they could turn children around by believing in them, and individualizing to meet their needs.  :roll:

How do YOU know it had nothing to do with financial aid? You have no idea what school it even was; I was deeply involved for years.

To answer another PP's question, we moved to a better school district, and ds is happy in public school.[/quote]

I think we were counseled out of a parochial because we were not Catholic.  We were paying the Prot. rate (more money) but the school was undergoing management problems and kids were falling through cracks.  But we were shabbily treated and and I think a lot of it - and the nastiness of the teachers and administrators - was due to the fact that they were Catholic and were were not.  Which is why I will never become a Catholic nor will be children.  So you parochials did a really super job of being inclusive and encouraging other Christians to take that step to become CAtholic.[/quote]

I am very sorry. My kids attend a Catholic parochial/are Catholic and we would never treat you like that.[/quote]
