[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your schools are counseling out well behaved thriving kids diagnosed with ADHD your at the wrong school. So many kids have ADHD. We’ve have kids with ADHD at different schools and they have all been great! [/quote]

We are at a private ( not a big 3) and they have been amazing. They came up with the accommodation plan, I reviewed it, added a couple things and it’s been in place for 2 years. 
Didnt even occur to me we might be asked to leave. Do whats right for your kid OP [/quote]

Which school is that? We are searching for schools that treat adhd kids well for our DC. [/quote]

As a family with an ADHD kid that has been bullied by their Big 3 school, I’m really happy for you PP. I truly hate our school and what they have done to my child. Counting down the days until the school year is over. [/quote]

We feel the same about our school.  Socially it has been a great place for our child - but the school has been more than clear with us as parents that they do not have the ability or time to educate children that are not their ideal student.  [I'm talking multiple meetings only weeks apart to continue to reiterate why our child is broken]. Our child has mild dyslexia, no behavioral problems, has no problem making friends, and teachers have expressed positive feelings towards them. Our child has been making great progress with the reading specialist since they started at the beginning of the school year - yet just two months into the school year, they called us in to start counseling us out - we have been a bit blindsided.  They said we could stay at the school but would not commit to continuing the intervention they're currently providing -- it pains us to pull our child out but in the end realize that children can sense how they are perceived by the adults in the school and do not want them to end up feeling bad about themselves because the administration and some teachers find them to be a burden.

In the end, some private schools want to provide support, and others do not.  I wish I had known to ask about this when we were looking for a lower school.[/quote]
