We spent 4 years at the public school. We left after the school determined that DS was not eligible for the dyslexia program. We considered special education testing but determined that they did not have the personnel to help DS. That is why we chose the dyslexia school with ALTs on staff. DS' ALT has helped him and an hour a day of ALT has been great. But DS told me he does not read at school. The teachers read everything to the kids. I am considering homeschooling as well switching to another private school if DS' attention improves.
