2gift, if I were in your shoes, I would not make any decisions in the heat of the moment. I'd wait until you have the outside testing finished and results and report in hand, and see what they say.

With that information you can make a decision based on facts rather than feelings... which is much in your DD's best interest.

Among other things, we have found that an outside report that offers specific details about what the school should be doing carries significant weight in changing the school's behavior.

And if there are LDs present, you might not want to give up the services that should be available through public schooling.

Unless they are doing actual harm, let your DD do spirit week and get that report ASAP.
