[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your child is already in school and you have actual knowledge as to how the school experience is for your child, moving is really jumping the gun. Some really undesirable schools are amazing for some kids and desirable schools can be a terrible fit for some kids. [/quote]

+1 9:55 here.  You have absolutely no guarantees that moving will make any difference in your DC's school experience.  To the PP's point, I'll add that the experience is completely dependent upon the staff at school  That can vary between one year and the next from one grade level to another.  Within the same school, you can have completely different experiences if you have different kids in different classrooms.

We spent a LOT of money on an advocate/consultant who helped us craft excellent IEPs.  She taught me an incredible amount so that by the time my kids were in upper elementary school, I was quite capable of understanding, crafting and monitoring them.  Still, the amount of money we spent on that pales in comparison to the cost of moving and the cost of private school - which may not serve you any better.

I don't think I saw this info - how old is your DC and do they have an IEP?[/quote]
