He also goes to a school specifically for kids with disabilities taught by people who won’t accept “oh, they can’t learn” for an answer. Amazing what that can do. Tells me a lot of the problems in government schools is that they accept mediocrity.

I bet that costs a small fortune.

I'd be curious to learn more about their approach, and whether they have any statistics on the long-term persistence of [former] student performance.

Well, it’s run by nuns as a charity and that keeps the tuition way way down. Also those amounts that are spent on special ed are hugely inflated in the gubmint schools.

I don’t know their methods. I know they teach kids to read with phonics and to do math by memorization. No calculators. And they have kids with Down Syndrome, autism, and other problems reading, writing, and doing math.
