[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC at Lab and while reading has been pretty well remediated (still very slow reading but amazing to see how fluent from moderate to significant until 3/4 grade), they haven’t been great on the dysgraphia and output side and often teach “down” to the kids. Also DC really dislikes the social atmosphere and the over the top “we’re so special” special Ed-ness of the school. Significant number of kids with behavior issues. But each kid and their needs are very different so need to gauge trade offs. [/quote]

DC came home from shadow day very turned off by Lab. In contrast, shadow day at Siena and Mclean School went very well and those are the two options we are now considering. I overheard an acquaintance made during the shadow day very casually mention on a phone call to my DC that their parent had confiscated all the knives in the house for fear the child would hurt the parent or their sibling. While I feel sorry for this child and don't even know if it's true, I did not feel this was a good sign. Behavioral issues happen as do mental health issues but we're already dealing with learning disabilities and anxiety and we are worried about surrounding DC with too many kids struggling with major mental health issues in such a small school. It also made me wonder if the school has the ability to appropriately support the needs of these kids given their hyper-focus on dyslexia,[/quote]
