[quote=Anonymous]I agree that everything is about choices. I am the PP with the two kids in MS in a SN school. I felt that it was critical that they be in a school that could offer them the support they need. Thankfully they do not need extras like OT or ST, so that is not an additional expense. I also did not want to keep paying tutors and cutting into their precious down time. We have made it work because we did not want to look back and say we should have made the move early on rather than suffer through the hit or miss of the public school system in our area. Travel is important but fortunately we have a second home that serves as a vacation home but it limits our ability to travel more extensively. We can live with that right now. There are families that get financial aid but even with aid, you may still be paying $20-30K. It is a big decision but unfortunately the K-12 education years are finite and middle school is critical. We wanted to get the support our kids needed in those critical years.[/quote]
