"A 21 year old school district "psychological counselor" that has NEVER had, nor dealt with children is not qualified to even discipline children; let alone diagnose mental and physical illness."
Yep! I will definitely agree with that. We just put our daughters in private school because our last meeting with the public school officials was a joke. We had a neuropsychologist (who was a PHD and lots of experience) at the meeting, and the young school psychologist (who had never even met my daughter) was disagreeing with the neuropsychologist about placement for my daughter. The neuropsychologist was very glad that we were not going to put our daughter back in the public school.
I feel very sorry for the kids whose parents are uneducated and actually listened to the school psychologist.
You have made the best decisions. May you and your family continue to be blessed. We are not totally against public education. In all actuality, we have invested years into PTA and my wife worked for several years as a "paraprofessional". The children called her the Library Lady. To this day young people run up to her in the grocery store and elsewhere to give a hug and say thanks. Nothing will ever change that.
