these public-school-is-a-good-alternative comments are very disturbing to me. That’s so nice to say it’s free and that he will know he is different but it is naïve and silly. A boy attending public school is sitting among girls wearing very low cut tank tops and short shorts in warm months and pajamas on pajama day (we had that once every few weeks). The teacher is not always wearing too much more than that, though she might. The girls sing. A lot. The teachers sing, they attend PE together and chorus, music and drama. singing. He may tell the girls that they shouldn’t touch him, and maybe they will remember that. So instead he will sit and watch them touch his classmates instead.
I could go on, but id rather not.
Anyone thinking of sending a healthy child to public school when he does not absolutely have to be there is doing a terrible, terrible thing!
