[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Cuious, as I have heard many people say things like this : just why would your DC NOT be happy in your wonderful public that did such a great job educating you and is sought after by so many? Is there a buzz word that I am not understanding? Publics tailor to special needs through IEP mandate. Private's do not. "great publics" still offer art and music, so when you say,"we live in bounds for a highly sought after public" that means your school has a great art and music program. So, specifically: what is it lacking?[/quote]

Not the PP you are asking, but there are plenty of needs someone might have that don't fall into the category of warranting an IEP.  This poster made the same choice I did, which was to consider what was best for her child.  Just because other people want to go to her public school rather than whatever other school they might be zoned for doesn't mean it is the best for HER child.  She is fortunate to have a choice so she went with the best option for her kid.  I'm a parent of kids zoned for JKLMM, and my kids are in a private school - and it's not because I thought I had to get them in at K to ensure a high school spot.  The school doesn't even go to 12th.[/quote]
