My daughter has a severe speech problem. We knew that she would not go to my son's old private school. They didn't have the services that she needed, and we couldn't pay for school and services.

After looking at the public school, we liked it so much we decided to switch my son from the private school. It's been great for all of my kids.

The public schools really can help special needs kids. My daughter gets speech and occupational therapy. This year, she'll see a reading specialist every day. If we need to, she can go into a special ed classroom with only 12 kids, 1 teacher, and several aides. The teacer in the special ed class really does teach. I observed her class a lot last year, and I was impressed.
