[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private schools (except privates specifically for kids with SNs) don’t even admit kids who have 504s/IEPs in public schools. Public is far from perfect but privates don’t even try. [/quote]

Why should they? Public schools are legally required to provide an education to all students who live within their boundaries. Private schools aren’t. [/quote]

Well of course they aren’t required to. Privates are exclusionary by nature. Kids who don’t fit the mold are not welcome. [/quote]

And? What's your point? You noted that some private schools do serve children with special needs. Others don't. You seem to have a problem with this. We are not Catholic and we don't want our kids going to a school that is promoting the Catholic faith. (We are Protestant, if it matters). So we don't send our kids to schools who serve Catholics. If you have a special needs kid, why would you want to send them to a school that doesn't serve them? I'm not offended that Catholic schools won't change their faith-based education to serve my children.[/quote]

OP’s friend rants about public schools and sends her kids private when most private schools actively choose not to serve the kids with SNs. These same schools like to say how welcoming, inclusive and diverse they are. The question is not why send a kid to a school that doesn’t serve them. The question is why don’t these schools serve them?  Why aren’t they actually what they say they are?[/quote]
