[quote=Anonymous]HHI &gt; $200K (2 full time incomes plus my husband had to get a 2nd job)
2 kids need private school
Can't afford Lab type school.
Sent them to a school with class size of 12-15 with support from outside.
Pulled equity out of the house. Blew through about 30K of that in 3 years. 
Receive $3K FA per child.
It is still a struggle. 
Holding my breath and hoping this all pays off by high school.

On the positive side, we are saving money on psycologists because before they moved schools both my kids were in therapy for depression. IEPs are hard for teachers to implement and the heavy sigh before they remember that your child needs their accomodation can really wear on a child. Note: They can also hear you talking about them &quot;behind their back&quot; to other teachers.

Our current school does not have &quot;accomodation&quot; everything I would ask them to do is just part of teaching - in their opinion. (Don't ask - I won't say - already can't believe the haters are on this thread.)

Sorry for your situation - it is close to an impossible situation - knowing you care and helping at night and working yourself to the bone - your child knows you are doing all you can - that goes a long way.[/quote]
