[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been at Auburn for a number of years. The program that we signed up for does not resemble what's happening in the classrooms today. We're stuck because there isn't another appropriate placement for us at this time.  We're staying, but we're not happy about it.  It feels like painfully expensive babysitting.  On the best of days, there is no harm. On the bad days, I think about keeping him home because what is happening in the classroom is so out of control.

Also a current Auburn parent and I'm just fed up. When we came on board, there were supports in place. The staff seemed on top of things. Was it perfect? Far from it. But I felt like my child was better off at Auburn, flaws and all, than he would have been elsewhere. Now, it's a circus. No one knows what they're doing. The specialists who are left don't seem to know what they're doing. If they're doing anything at all. The curriculum doesn't seem to follow a coherent plan. I'm not sure if my son is actually learning anything. He went in there abover grade level, and recent testing showed that he's now far below grade level. The kids seem out of control all the time and no one seems to be inclined to do anything about it!   My husband is so concerned he thinks we should homeschool, because he thinks there is more harm than good being done, and our son would be better off with a tutor, than with what they're doing. I don't know what we're going to do. I don't know how I can homeschool him and work. And I still think he needs to be around kids. But being around kids in all that chaos?

For how much I'm paying, it shouldn't be this stressful.
