[quote=Anonymous]I agree. The problem is with the system... children should not have to fail out of multiple placements, fail to learn how to read for multiple years or have their physical or mental health compromised in public settings before they can access a better fit outside of the system.

OP -- do you even have a child who may qualify for private placement at public expense? If you don't have money for a lawyer, other posters have given some resources that you could use. You also need to be very involved and document every single thing going on in the school. Even parents with money often fail to secure private placements at public expense. It often takes years of suffering and dogged pursuit for parents to get that placement.

And typically these parents are paying a TON of money on private treatments -- eating into their savings, retirement and future security. I know bc I paid for private out of my own funds. it was a sacrifice that we made for our child, but to an outside person, perhaps it looked like we were rolling in money. Not at all... sacrifice all around. We were lucky to be able to do it... but it hurt. [/quote]
