OP,

First, please don't feel obligated to respond to everyone and repeat yourself, it's exhausting and clutters the thread.

Second, on DCUM, we deal in brutal honesty and unvarnished thoughts here. You should have expected, if you had read DCUM before posting, that you'd get a proportion of nasty replies. If you didn't read DCUM before posting... this thread is your baptism by fire :-) You need a thick skin to post here.

Third... please, no more boarding school for your precious child. I moved every 4 years from country to country as a child, due to my father's job, and only once landed in a boarding school situation. I still managed to learn all the languages and different cultural norms. Your child can thrive in a day school, public or private.

Why don't you create an new, anonymous thread about finding a great school where you are currently living in NY? People will help you find one. And sometimes the best situations are public ones, no matter how much money you have to throw at private institutions... it really depends where you live and what you want from a K-12 education. We moved to be in-bounds for a great public school cluster in the DC area, because none of the DC privates were interesting enough, ie, price:quality ratio was lacking.

Best of luck.

I was expecting advice or constructive criticism, not stupid statements like "he's not my son," "I don't love him," or other such nonsense from mentally ill people who have nowhere to vent their anger.

Thank you for your comment. We live in an area where there are no good public schools. Al all… Our current school, rated as A+, is actually very well-known and considered one of the best, and that's the problem.[/quote]
