[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone ever met a non-binary or trans adolescent that DIDN’T have some kind of anxiety? Not trying to be snarky but generally curious as a teacher and parent. I think schools expect this and places like Burke are poised to handle it well in coordination with the parents and outside support. I would be more concerned about the dyslexic piece. Most private schools do not train their teachers in how to meet the needs of dyslexic students. Most private schools don’t have enough learning specialists and it’s very likely you will have to shell out on your own time (and money) private tutoring or the like.  [/quote]

Ummm, my child is non-binary and they exhibit no more anxiety than their cis friends. [/quote]

OP here. At least for my kid, their anxiety is totally unrelated to their gender identity. If anything, coming out has lessened their anxiety.

With respect to dyslexia expertise, in my experience this is absolutely true of DC public schools. My child was not diagnosed until middle school when we paid $$$ to get the full panoply of neuropsych testing done. Not one teacher throughout all their schooling had ever raised dyslexia as a possibility. Not one. I would hope privates would be better equipped to both ID and support dyslexia, but maybe I'm fooling myself.[/quote]
