Also, the left (not you, in this part of the response) trying to tell private schools they must waste money to accommodate a couple students is ridiculous.. it's called "private" for a reason.. it's not for everyone. If PersonA wants to take their child to SchoolA and SchoolA cannot accommodate them, take them elsewhere. Boy that was tough.

so, i have a voucher for 10 thousand bucks to send my kid to 10th grade next year. there's no more public school because, maga, i guess. the private school costs 15,000 and i manage to crowdsource the remaining funds for my son to get his 10th grade year in. only to find out, the private school won't accept him on account of his adhd diagnosis. i have to....move? put him on a ritalin prescription? (which is the reason why he has an iep, i don't medicate him).

It's obvious why you asked it. Don't be dense.

Is it?

I don't know, but I'm one. Severe attention deficit (I'm in the 90th percentile on a scale of normal to "squirrel!"), I was on DRC in university and had an IAP in Canada as well, that gave me extended testing times, quiet distraction-free places for exams, etc.

 

Also, I said my daughter goes to a private school, but I deliberately left out what kind.. because she has my attention deficit, she goes to an arts immersion private school that accommodates her attention deficit issues and caters to her style of learning. They get funds specifically for this purpose, even though there are a good amount of parents who send their children to this school who don't have that learning disability.

 

Out the window goes that argument.

oh well by your standard, you should have gone to a 'special needs school'.

 

eta: which depending upon where you are, could mean anything. i know there aren't any arts immersion private schools specifically for attention issues around these parts.

You have to go to a rich liberal state for that, like Canada

but what about private schools that aren't set up to accomodate special needs kids? for example, my kid has an iep through public school - who is going to enforce those standards on private institutions?

They could have schools just for special needs kids

I can't imagine why the left would be so vehemently against care more centralized to these people and their personal issues. Society doesn't owe each individual anything other than their freedoms.

iep is an individual education plan. kids with all sorts of varying degrees of 'disability' get them in public school. my kid got an add diagnosis in the 2nd grade and i've never had to put him on medication for it because im able to tweak his learning environment through the iep. he doesnt need medication or a special school just for his attention deficit.

Thanks for womanspalning for me.. I wasn't  implying your son needed a special school. If anything like mommy he is a very bright funny little commie 🤣
