[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very hard to explain because it was hard for me to understand. Counseled out means they tell you what theY can do for your child and you decide it's not going to work or you try to make it work and it is like a square peg in a round hole. Your not happy, Your child is not happy and the school is doing the best they can.

In public they are only legally required to give services to severely learning disabled and gifted and talented with minor disabilities.

My son was neither. Just normal with minor learning disabilities. He was not a behavior issue at all so the first private was not asking us to leave, he was not a disruption at all.

Our educational consultant basically explained it - in laymen terms- as long as they put him in e lowest level classes and he has a C - there is no need for an IDP. My son actually did not qualify for an IDP.

So neither school kicked us out - but there are the long pauses and the what does your educational consultant recommend comments and the so is that possible for your family but you know you are welcome here.

So you go to a class size of 15, get a private tutor and thank god for 3 recesses and gym daily because the alternate had you at psychologists, neurologist, and researching the side effects of meds.

I had the same problem with public.  If he can past the MSAs, and doesn't bring down the school average, he can not get help, no matter how severe they know his problems are.[/quote]
