Here is a parent that has the right idea, a good day school option and they are being ridiculed.  It is probably because the anon poster wasn't allowed an education in the program that they were in.  The meaning of the words "Day school" just don't register.  This parent is not willing to risk their child to a boarding school. Don't 99.9% of Americans send their children to "day schools". Usually these are public schools, but there are many good private alternatives.   I don't know where you are from in S. FL. but start with the private schools in the yellow pages.  Sometimes you just can't "home school" your children.  It isn't the right thing for everyone.  Ask around, word of mouth, let people know what you are looking for.  You know your child better than probably anyone else.  Write down what you think would be the ideal school environment for him/her.  Then search for one that meets all or most of your criteria.  Talk to teachers and parents and students and visit the classrooms.  If a child is coming home every evening and you keep the communications open there is nothing wrong with a private day school. Sometimes there aren't as many choices for H.S. age children as elementary, but they are out there.  Some very small schools can be good.    Does your child have a special talent or skill that they would like to develop?  Hopefully you can find a school that will allow growth in that area.  Where are you looking for a school?

just kiddin around...

i think the day school idea is just spiffing!

the talent or skill suggestion was a very good one

i just don't uderstand why some parents don't know

or take the time to get to know their own children.

and expecting others to explain them to you...

but by saying:

"that's probably why your parents did what they did..."

well, that's just about one of the most ignorant things you could have possably thought of to say.

giving me reason to believe you may simply lack in IQ.

happy private school hunting!

(yeah, i went to private school too!)

two private schools, one boot camp, and straight.

because of stupid parents like some of you.

now i'm here as a warning to you...

(volutarily, that is)

Well there is certainly a much better chance of the kid being treated humanely in a day school where he can come home every day. There have been cases where such schools have been found to be abusive but that was mostly in cases where individual employees of the school were pedophiles or where the school catered to the mentally disabled.

Questions to ask about any day school that is supposed to help emotional or mental problems:

Are they properly licensed, not just as a school but also a mental health services provider?

What are the philosophies of the school? Religious or Secular, Montessori, Progressive or Traditional ,etc?

What are the rules?

What are the punishments for breaking the rules?
