[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps educator here- I've eyed private schools for both of my kids.  Mcps has done a terrible job with the one who has an LD...an utterly abysmal job and I truly feel like he would be illiterate [b]if I hadn’t done significan early intervention as soon as i recognized the problem[/b].  Unfortunately the LD privates cost way too much and a cheap nearby catholic school would be too rigorous and not supportive enough. The best I can do is throw money at private tutoring and provide a lot of support at home.  I may need to send him to private down the road.

I'm also very concerned about the open drug use and distractions at the high school level. I will see how things shake out for my older child.

I dealt with a similar issue and ended up going private but it is costly.  What did you do to intervene on your own? Or do you mean because you are a teacher, you were able to figure out what was wrong/missing and help fix?[/quote]

Here’s a secret of private school, those with LDs in them who thrive are paying  also “throwing money at private tutoring and provide a lot of support at home.”  It’s not one or the other.  Depending on school, the  privately paid support may be able/or required to come on campus to help the student.[/quote]
