[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked.  Just appalled at the parents on this forum who are so insensitive.  This particular forum is supposed to be a place of support for parents who have kids who need extra help.  I think what is going on here is similar to what happens on the private school forum, where parents bicker over the choice of private over public.  Public school parents feel as though families who choose private over their public school are somehow snobby or too good for their public school.  And now this is the public school population striking back at those private school parents...even on the special needs forum!!  Come on people.  These are children with special needs.  They are entitled and NEED these services because a lot of private schools (especially the inexpensive parochial ones) do not have the resources!!  OP does not have to explain why she chose private.  But it appears she had good reason.  Even if the reason was because she just wanted her DC to have a religious education, it should NOT matter.  She chose this private school based on the fact that those services were available to her.  Now she may have to send her child back to public only to have to withstand bullying again.  How sad, and shocking that you people have no compassion for this child.

No, actually Federal law is very clear on this. AND any money DCPS makes by removing direct services must be forfeited back to the Feds.
Many of us who are at private schools pay for private therapies (private pay or insurance).  I understand why OP picked private as did we but then we are responsible for the services and meeting our child's individual needs.[/quote][/quote]

I am the PP.  You are exactly the kind of person who should not be sharing on this forum.  Like I said before, this forum is a support forum, not a place to vent anger.  I have two kids with special needs, both in privates.  Both get support outside of the public school system BECAUSE WE CAN AFFORD IT.  This is likely not the case for OP.  I would like to know that as a taxpayer, if something happened with our financial situation, we could always utilize the public school for whatever needs we may have, including both the services only, or going back to public if need be (God forbid!).

(New poster here) You are no one to say who should or shouldn't be on this forum. The PP shared some specific points. Challenge them or ignore them. But enough of ad hominem attacks.[/quote]
