[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the mother should have kept her child at Basis. It would have given her a better chance of getting her child a private placement.[/quote]

You only get private placement if the school cannot meet FAPE:  if the child tested into 5th grade algebra then he is above grade level at least in math.  [b]Very difficult if not impossible to get private placement if the child is not below grade level.

Perhaps the family felt Basis was a bad "fit".[/quote]

That is incorrect.  In some cases, it's actually easier.  As in so many things, this depends upon the individual situation: the child, the needs, the school, the history, the family's lawyer, etc.  DC has public schools for children who are below grade level.  The families of children with special needs, who are not below grade level do not have many choices.[/quote]

First time I've heard this:.  It's EASIER to get a private placement for SN kids who are NOT below grade level vs SN kids [b]Below grade level [/b]Really!?!  DC has a student population where over 50% of the non SN students are below grade level in both English and Math, yet they will pay for a SN student who is at grade level to attend a private SN school.  Don't think so.  There was a long extensive discussion on the SN board about this recently.  Private placements have gotten much tougher in the past two yrs.[/quote][/quote]
