[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one reason I dont want our private to cater to kids with learning differences.  Learning specialists are expensive and only work with a single or small group at a time.  They are not money well spent especially if you have kids like mine who do not need, and have never needed, a learning specialist.  People often posts about how its "wrong" or elitist for private schools to not make accommodations for kids with learning differences but the truth of the matter is that is just one more thing that raises costs.  If your kid doesn't need it, its hard to stomach how much schools spend on it.[/quote]

I am guessing you will get flamed for this.  How familiar are you with what the learning specialists do at your school?  You may be pleasantly surprised at how much it benefits everyone.  Not all specialists are created equal so it might be a waste at your school, but the ones that are good do far more than just help individual kids.  They help a broad spectrum of kids with study skills - note taking, time management - as well as help the teachers find the best ways to reach a whole classroom of students.  At the very least, they are helping out individual kids, so your teacher doesn't have to slow down the pace at which she is teaching your kid who doesn't need help.[/quote]
