Recognizing the Need to Change Schools

The decision to change schools is often driven by a desire to provide the best possible education. Parents want this to be tailored to your child’s specific requirements.

I noticed my son was not getting the type of educational support at public school when he was in first grade. The classroom rules were in direct conflict to our home rules about taking responsibility and fixing errors. I was afraid to take my son out of public school. We could not afford private school and homeschooling was really intimidating.

I saw the signs and felt the pull to get my son out of that school environment and make a change to support his learning. But, it took me time to feel comfortable with that fact. I did not realize all the options I had and that they really are not as scary as I thought.
