[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who asked why parents would send their kids to a private school.  Okay, I get why teachers might want to teach there - even for less money - but I still don't understand why parents would pay so much to send their children there knowing that the teachers do not need the full qualificitions of public school teachers?  Is it just to brag about being able to afford to send their child to a private school?  What kind of education are you really paying for?  Not trying to be snarky, just truly curious.[/quote]

Just because the qualification may not be required it does not mean the teachers don't have the qualifications.

So for me personally. I was told my son would have to be failing for public school to address his learning disabilities. I was advised by the special education specialist at our local public that he would do better in  a private school setting, I was advised by the person who did the evaluation of 3 schools they recommended. He had 13 kids in the classroom his first year and never has had more than 15. He can not sit still for too long. He gets 4 recesses a day, gym, classes outside, young male teachers who give him a cool nicknames. Since he is given breaks and is not stressed he can learn in his acedemic classes. We stopped counseling for anxiety and stress due to hating to sit all day in school.

He likes school - I will be super overjoyed if he gets into Maryland but any of the local colleges will do.

I only "brag" to close friends that know what our family went through about how well he is doing. We are going through the process again to request a reassessment from the public school if they can give him an IEP. I have been told they may not even give me an assessment. Still pending.[/quote]
