[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% of children nationally have learning differences.  20% of students at the top 3 have learning differences.  Don't assume that your child can't be accommodated, because if s/he is bright and curious, s/he will do just fine in any school.  [/quote]

[b]Selective admissions processes and subsequent counseling out [/b]mean the students at the Big 3 do not mirror the general population. That's why people pay the big $. [/quote]

If you have big$'s or are  a prominent alumni, your kid is going to get in regardless if they have learning differences or not. It happens more than  you think.[/quote]

Also GDS counsels out kids with learning differences.  I  know of 5 who left middle school last year.  We love GDS but it is not a good fit for kids who need support- kids are smart, free thinking, self-starters and the teachers expect the kids to perform.  It's not a great fit for one of our kids who has executive function issues but he loves it so we are coping/supporting him.  Our other child is super smart, fast-processor and he is doing great but he already feels the pressure in late middle school.[/quote]
