[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that really got me in APS is that they wouldn’t permit us to bring in a private tutor during the day who was willing to meet with my child at lunch.  My 3rd grader was not able to handle an hour of tutoring on top of a full school day, but the school was unwilling to give him meaningful interventions.  [/quote]

The reason for this is as follows. If a school allows a private tutor during the school day, it's agreeing that the child needs a special education service (the tutor) and the parents are providing that. However, the law states that the school needs to provide a free and appropriate education. So no, your school is doing FAPE and therefore no tutor is needed.

I do not blame teachers but my anger at APS is horrible. I think I need therapy.[/quote]

I was able to let most of my anger go after we settled in well at a private.[/quote]

I'm unemployed and 50K is a lot for a special education. Did you know that the best, most expensive, exclusive schools in NYC cost about 50K? Why do we have to pay what trust-fund people pay? I don't have a trust. I don't have an extra 50K. I'd like to retire on time.  [/quote]
