[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like a tragic case of misplaced grief.  The school is damned if they do/don’t.  If they kept him on and he starts failing all classes he’s obviously going to struggle mentally as well.  I think the parents feel massive guilt and need to find someone to blame.  It’s a tragic situation but [b]I dont think a school can be expected to convert itself to one that caters to special needs because of a single student[/b]. There are multiple privates that support kids with learning disabilities that he could have thrived at.  [/quote]

Agree completely. I have a hard time with parents who feel like they're entitled to this at our private.[/quote]

I have a hard time with parents who feel like they’re entitled to an educational environment that excludes and discriminates against neurodivergent children. Y’all talk about DEI but you don’t walk the walk. [/quote]

Look, this is an exclusive school.  The parents are making a choice of sending their kids to an exclusive school.  So, who do they think the school is going to exclude and what makes them sure it's not going to be their child?  I am always curious as to how people answer these questions for themselves.

Lots going on here, when neurodivergent or DEI also becomes code speak for not being able to have a real conversation about someone’s scholastic aptitude and academic fit in a school.
