[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not unique to APS and is probably worse at most mainstream private schools.  A lot of parents do not want to hear about their child’s issues and will put their heads in the sand and blame teachers, the school, etc. until it gets so bad the child can’t keep up.  If your child is falling behind or you have a gut feeling something isn’t right, take matters into your own hands and don’t count on the school, public or private.  [/quote]

Most mainstream private schools are at least teaching phonics and handwriting.  My kid was getting more Lexia… but he’s at private school for dyslexic kids now and his growth since summer is amazing.  Tapping what little we had starting saving for college to help pay for it and that’s with financial assistance.  Best decision we’ve made.[/quote]

Yes but you’ll read the same things on the private school board.  Some private schools are very light on academics until 3rd-4th grade so issues are missed.  Also, private schools are a business that often cater to parents and tell them what they want to hear for as long as they can.  It’s sad all around because these issues are best addressed early.
