Absolutely true.  Of course, the same can be said for every other child.  I know many families that started out at GDS, Sidwell, Maret, etc and later transferred to other schools or stayed there as lifers even though it was a as fit as the students got older. [/quote]

Yeah, but knowing that your child has a diagnosis like Asperger's and hiding it from the school hoping that they will get in and thrive is just stupid.[/quote]

No, but you sound stupid.[/quote]

Again.  Mainstream private schools ask on their application about any diagnosis, IEP, 504, at least for middle school upwards.   Probably bc they got burned one too many times from parents who did not want to reveal their child's issues bc they were afraid their kid may not get in.

By lying on the application, it'll make it easier for the school to counsel your child out if they are having problems.

If the school feels that they cannot support your child's issues then maybe you should listen to them.[/quote]
