[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having been directly employed to create systems to support learning needs, I left 3 private schools due to a lack of best practices and push back from HOS and other admin when I explained what it takes to support learning needs/neurodiversity. They used my data to counsel kids out instead of adapting and training teachers to be better educators.  These kids did not have behaviors, although the previous statements about not tolerating behaviors is accurate, it wasn’t a factor in my experience. Mostly it was dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia that they wouldn’t accommodate past 3rd or 4th grade. There was a case where the family had their name of many buildings from generations of being with the school but the school still counseled them out. 
At the end of the day, name, money or effort mean nothing to larger 50k tuition private schools when there is a need for specialized education, they have an image to sell.[/quote]

Private schools aren't going to try to be all things for all people. That's the public school domain. Also, there are specific private schools that cater to these special needs. [/quote]
