Thanks for the support, JBR. When I talked with my MIL about the school, she kept putting it down. When I mentioned I would LOVE to send DD there for K, she told us we could send her to public school because we can just work with her after school on her other needs.

I finally looked at MIL and said firmly, "DH and I feel strongly that DD will need to be accelerated. And it's going to be a lot easier and better for her to go to the private school versus battling with the public school."

MIL acts like DD isn't really that smart when she talks with us, but then she'll brag about her to other people. It's confusing. She doesn't understand her needs, that's for sure. She thinks DH had an easy time in school when in fact, he's very dissatisfied with his school experience -- something we're trying to avoid with DD.
