[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a tragic case of misplaced grief.  The school is damned if they do/don’t.  If they kept him on and he starts failing all classes he’s obviously going to struggle mentally as well.  I think the parents feel massive guilt and need to find someone to blame.  It’s a tragic situation but I dont think a school can be expected to convert itself to one that caters to special needs because of a single student. There are multiple privates that support kids with learning disabilities that he could have thrived at.  [/quote]

Except public schools manage to teach kids with learning disabilities with fewer resources than St Ann's has. The school doesn't have to convert itself but it may have to make some changes to the way it approaches teaching for some kids to meet their needs. If the school doesn't want to do that, fine. But the school's choices definitely seem inconsistent with the way it brands itself as "getting under the table with the kid." [/quote]

Maybe some public schools manage to teach kids with learning disabilities. My kids’ public school certainly didn’t. [/quote]
