[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the point? Nobody knows, but we are working hard to figure it out.[/quote] Everyone knows but does not want to say it out loud - social cachet. [/quote] I wish it was social cache but for us it’s been the opposite. I feel like I have to explain why we had a good reason for leaving our public school lest we be seen as “the real problem with public schools.” Our public school dragged its feet when we contacted them to get accommodations for our DC. Only when we came with an external assessment, that *we* had to pay for, did they even begin to talk about engaging the district. We just couldn’t risk our DC getting lost in the system waiting for supports that they were actively pushing against. It felt like a gamble and the advocacy was exhausting. For us, the private school was worth stepping off that roller coaster. Whether it remains the best solution is a year-by-year conversation.[/quote]
