[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, the Lab school is hardly representative of most private schools in the DC area.  It is a very speciialized school for children of average or above average intelligence who have serious learning difficulties.   MOST provate schools in teh area do not cater to this population![/quote]

I think you are mistaken. Having a special needs child I have done a lot of research and there are a large amount of private schools that can handle children with severe learning difficulties. Saying the Lab School is just a familiar name. I learn about a new program every few months as I talk to parent with the same concerns as me. Mercy has a program, there is an inclusion program in Paul IV, Ryken at Good Counsel, St. Johns has a program but the name escapes me right now. Schools accommodate Down Syndrome children and kids with Aspergers and Tourettes. Some schools do not have something on their website and it is up to counselors and tutors to guide you to their programs.

This forum would have you believe that every private school parent wants their kids in to go Ivy and their kids WSPPI (or whatever - because we never took any test to get into private school) is in the 98%. I know many, many, many private school families and a few talk about going Ivy. I know many, many, many public school families and a few of them talk about Ivy schools as well. We are just as worried about drugs, alcohol and just making it through as everybody else is.

Not sure why everybody is so entranched in their camp.
