[quote=Anonymous]to the poster who is frustrated...i get that....but as a parent to a child who is leaving a strong public school, I too am frustrated....frustrated by the overcrowding, the curriculum that is geared towards a standardized test, children that are discipline problems, or need additional support that is guided by an IEP, (or a student who may not pass the SOL)  getting the lion share of the attention.  I am frustrated and disappointed that my child like so many fly under the radar and their needs are not being met and they are not reaching their full potential.   I am disappointed that we will be leaving public school, but we are not satisfied with our child's education.  Unfortunately the directives are coming from the state, the Superintendent and the School Board.  the schools have given up quite a bit of their autonomy.   My job is to fight for my child.....the powers at be are not listening or making changes fast enough.  The schools / counties want the maximum funding.  We are leaving Public school for Private school.  I do not think Private school will be perfect; I know there will bumps in the road and    I also know that we are lucky that we have an option in private school.  Good luck OP![/quote]
