[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I will never understand private school above a certain level of public school. DC publics pay pretty well so you attract the best talent. I'm also confused because I have friends whose kids have special needs and they somehow think privates will be better for them when privates don't have people to support those needs and eventually counsel you out. If you have speech, motor, LDs, whatever, public schools come with teams of people passionate about supporting you. And my kids have never been held back in their learning by having those kids in their class. I mean, you do you, but my kids' teachers in DC have been phenomenal.[/quote] There is such limited resources per child in public school that if you need more than 10 minutes of OT/PT/tutorials a week from a qualified staff member, you are better getting it on the outside using your own medical insurance. We continue to send our child with learning differences to private school because the help is meaningful and not just checking a legal box.[/quote]
