[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 [b]he’s at private school for dyslexic kids now [/b]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]

I bet s/he did make a lot of progress with basically an all day SPED class.  You are right 40 hours a week of SPED is not something public schools give.  Maybe however, if APS joined with FCPS they could have a school for dyslexic children and meet these kids needs (Kind of  like TJ, but for dyslexic students).  That would be something to lobby for.  Does the private school your child attends have a full K class with diagnosed dyslexic kids or when do most kids join?  [/quote]
