[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also got a "rejection call" this morning for my DS (incoming first grader next school year) for two reasons:  "1) He can't seem to focus on the work that was assigned to him (my answer:  DUH! He is 2e).  2)  He ran outside of the classroom at one point.  This was a private school, and when I toured last January, there were kids with special seats, medicine balls as seats all over the place -- so that tells me they accommodate fidgety kids.  I started to think that if a school thinks the two problems my DS showed during his shadow visit are huge problems, I am curious as to what they can tolerate.

I don't know what to do anymore.[/quote]

PP, although the justifications given are upsetting and perplexing to you, they sound reasonable.  First, your child must be able to receive and follow instructions or available to learn.  If he is unable to focus, then he cannot benefit from the curriculum or even the support offered.  On the second point, a student who runs out of the classroom is a major distraction and prevents other students from learning because the teacher has to stop the lesson and look for your child.  They can't reasonably accommodate these issues and serve the other students adequately.[/quote]
