I wish I had the privilege to just pull my kids out of APS and go to private school like Miranda does. [/quote]

Well that sounds bitter.  She has 3 kids and 2 are in APS. And the kid in private apparently coming back to APS. You have no idea why one is in private or how they are managing it. Even one of our current SB members has or had kids in private school. Loads of APS families have one kid in private and others in APS. Most common for parents of SWDS. Focus on how to make APS better for all kids rather than worrying about what other families do. [/quote]

This is a privilege that most parents do not have. I have a child with severe special needs and I can't afford to pull them out of APS. Even if I could, I'm not sure a private school would take them.

Why didn't she keep her kid in public and focus on making APS better for all kids, as you say? This would include mine.

And for that matter, I also find it interesting that she didn't keep her kids in Drew but decamped for Montessori.

To be fair, it is possible they were in Montessori to begin with, which was co-located at Drew, and then moved to its current location.

She is living in Green Valley, and mentions her mom as a graduate of Kenmore and Wakefield... so...doesn't sound like the family was fleeing high FARMS environments and any point in time.[/quote]

Montessori was very separate from Drew when they were in the same building. Very different population. Miranda may live in Green Valley but she didn't put her kids in the neighborhood school with the brown kids in Green Valley. I wonder why not. [/quote]

I don't even like Miranda and you're making something out of nothing. Maybe her kids just excel better in a Montessori program? Just like Erin decided that her kids should learn Spanish instead of going to their neighborhood school. That's what options programs are for. [/quote]
