Georgetown Prep is not a safety. I know kids who chose it over STA and I know kids who got into STA but were rejected from Prep. Prep is a highly desirable school with an acceptance rate below 20%. Nice try though, the haters are always going to hate. It’s so predictable. 🙄[/quote]

NP.  Based on the handful of Prep students I know, I thought it was a safety school as well.  Does Prep offer a Special Ed. program?  One kid I know appears to be on the spectrum.[/quote]

Oh Boy! It’s clear someone’s son got rejected and they are taking out their anger on this forum and making up lies about Prep. A better use of your time might be therapy because ignorant comments such as the above just make you look like a fool.[/quote]

Why are you so defensive?  I have two daughters so I certainly don’t have an ax to grind with Prep.  The rising 9th grader I know who was recently admitted to Prep seems to be on the autism spectrum (the high-functioning side).  My question is sincere.  Does Prep have a program like SJC’s Benilde program for students with learning differences?  [/quote]

Just stop.  It's so obvious your posts are not sincere. [/quote]

My question triggers you for some reason…please move along.

Can some else respond?  Does Prep admit students with documented learning differences?  Is there a special program?[/quote]

NP. I agree with PP—your question is not sincere and is rather ignorant. A high functioning autistic kid will likely be among the smartest in the class and would not necessarily need accommodations. To use your own words they are “high functioning” after all. [/quote]

How valuable are book smarts if you have zero social skills and are unable to appropriately connect with peers and work colleagues?  I hope Prep’s Special Ed. program develops the whole student and improves these students’ social skills (especially the boy I’m referencing).  It was so uncomfortable interacting with him (no eye contact, mumbling, one word answers, having to repeat questions over and over again, etc).  I figured there must be a program because how would he make it past the interview otherwise?[/quote]

Shame on you. This is a human being, someone’s child. None of this is your business. All children have strengths and weaknesses. It’s not for you to judge which strengths are important and which are not. Why on Earth are you worried about how someone else’s child will connect with future “work colleagues” at this stage? You are projecting your own values and expectations onto someone else’s educational situation. Worry about yourself. [/quote]

:roll:

Thanks, but I can multitask Karen.  I can take off myself and my children, and still express concern for this boy.  He will continue to struggle socially if his issues aren’t addressed.[/quote]

You don’t care about that child.  You are using him to try to make Prep look bad and you are succeeding only in embarrassing yourself.  
[/quote]

Embarrassed on an anonymous forum?!?  Now that’s a first!

Btw, I’m genuinely concerned that this boy won’t get the help he needs to interact appropriately with people at Prep.  I hoped that Prep had a special program to address his obvious issues.  Well, good for Prep and their willingness to take a wide range of students.  Everyone can’t be smart and charming.[/quote]

You being the obvious example.

You are not genuinely concerned. You are backpedaling from your offensive posts because someone actually called you on it.

[/quote]

I have no reason to back pedal.  What are you capable of doing to me?

This child has terrible social skills (possibly due to autism).  I’m concerned that Prep won’t help him to improve in that area.[/quote]
