[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you're talking about certain milder ND issues, public schools are going to be better at catering to ND then most privates. [b]In our experience, some public districts now prioritize ND students over NT students.[/b][/quote] Yes - public schools have essentially zero obligations w/r/t to NT students, so their interests often take a backseat to the needs of ND students, especially if there is an official diagnosis + 504/IEP. Private schools are permitted to weigh the demands of accommodating ND students (many of whom are perfectly fine in most outward respects) against the needs of the overall school community and make an up or down judgement. What is really common sense can feel jarring when juxtaposed against the legal regimes and requirements that public schools must contend with. [/quote] I guess it's fine for private schools to prioritize NT over ND students. But then they shouldn't be pretending otherwise.[/quote]
