2gift: I am SO happy to read your updates. As I said on another thread your whole story made me sad and brought me back to the terrible situation my dd had in school last year. These recent posts are bringing back the relief I felt the last day when dd said "I am NOT going back to this school!" and I could promise her she would not have to go back there ever again. It sounds like a great plan - homeschool until winter break while you get your testing done and examine your options. You will be viewed as a take-charge parent who WILL have a say in her child's education. As was said upthread you and your dd will likely know almost immediately if a new school is a good fit. And I can tell you from our experience this year the right teacher who "gets" your child and her situation along with a school who wants to work with you makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for making my day!
