Leaving a Private School? Consider Distance Learning
Schools can fail students just as much as a student can fail in school. Sometimes, for reasons ranging from teacher-student conflict, to issues with safety, a child simply does not “fit in” and succeed at a particular school. Most of the time, the solution often involves enrollment in a different school. What if the problem though is not the school, but the system and the approach in general? Parents often wrongly assume that paying for an education automatically translates to academic success.
What happens when the decision to attend private school backfires and a student does not succeed? Besides losing out on a significant amount of money, parents whose children have to transfer out of private school have to make a decision as to whether or not their child will now move on to public school, or find another alternative.

Inclusion For Special Education Children Depends on Teachers
Parents and teachers need to constantly be evaluating placements and programs for children with exceptional learning needs.. Special education team members need to look at the full continuum of placements for each child without assumption. Yes, this should happen annually according to the IEP, but placements & programs are often assumed for the student without careful evaluation.
When discussing all options of placements, Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) must be achieved. A common challenge regarding LRE is to find the environment which fosters as much independence as possible for the student with disabilities. This may or may not be with typical peers.
