[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. We are not at CMI but we are at similar charter that focuses on the whole child. We can also afford private (it wouldn't be super easy but we'd manage with limited budget adjustments). We have spoken to many private families and have gone to open houses. Having an AA son and prioritizing certain things like diversity are important to our family. My DS also has certain emotional needs that I think are being met in a great way at his charter. That's not to say that private is out of the picture all together. Just saying, right now, his needs are best met where he is. We have a close friend who has a kid that is "high energy", they have been told by many privates that they may not be a good fit. Not every kid fits into a perfect little bubble and if a family thinks their current school is the best fit for their family, people should not judge them and say that they aren't prioritizing their kids education.[/quote] +1. We chose an immersion charter over private schools and glad we did bc it turned out that our child has ASD/ADHD and needs an IEP. We chose the charter for the immersion language but it turned out to be a much better fit than the private school we were considering. Had we chosen the private school, we most likely would have been counseled out. Reading these posts, it is obvious some parents chose CMI for the services/supports that aren't available at mainstream private schools. CMI has an excellent reputation for inclusion. [/quote]
