Private schools do not have to go by any laws like public schools do. This teacher would not make any accommadations for my child what so ever, even after getting a diagnoses of the disorder that was present. Other teachers in the past have been great, but if your child has any special needs, there are certain teacher/s who will not help. Not worth the high tuition either! Read less
