[quote=Anonymous]We left 2 years ago. There were a number of reasons. DC was unhappy with the social situation. Too small. Some bullying going on which the school did not address well.

Academically, we found the school lacking. Lots of busy work, not challenging or interesting curriculum. The philosophy seemed to be don't make it too hard so the kids seem like they are achieving. Some of the teachers were not good and seemed uninterested in making the classes exciting.

While accommodations were made in the classroom, I still ended up paying for a tutor to help Dc in certain areas. After spending all that money for tuition, that did not make me happy.

Our fears were confirmed when we went to a different school and saw how behind the DC was in certain areas especially math.

Just because a kid has learning issues, does not mean they can't be pushed to do challenging work.

Some parents will say that it is not good for a child to be pushed to do that. my belief is that kids with learning issues need to learn to succeed in spite of them.
