[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the public school ever pay private school tuition without a fight? If they have private schools that fully funded by public schools, then  if a kid needs a smaller teacher student ratio and more counseling and psychological services each day than the school can handle, do they offer one of these schools?[/quote]

My child is in a "private" school paid for by FCPS. All the students at the school are placed by various school systems. FWIW, the families that we know did not hire lawyers or advocates to get private placement for their child (FCPS-I have heard MCPS is a different story). It is more cost effective for FCPS to send a child to a contract services school then to education that particular child in a mainstream school. There are very few private schools that have contracts with the school systems to provide services. The schools my child has attended and we have toured have been absolutely bare bones. No one would choose to send their child to once of these schools if their child could attend their local FCPS school. People aren't plotting and scheming to get into the Phillips School, etc. The education is very poor compared to public schools in every way. [/quote]
