I really need some advice. We have 3 children our oldest is going into 7th grade, youngest going into 1st and our middle child is going into 3rd. Our middle child has dysphonesia. His processing speed is very low but his comprehension is at a 5th grade level. His IQ is superior intelligence. Our problem is this All of our children have attended a private school which will not be reopening in the fall due to the economy. We applied to the other local independant school (our first choice). Our oldest and youngest were accepted (thye are both very strong accademically)but our other son was not. They said the school was not a good fit for him. I am very active in my son's education. He has tutoring twice weekly, vision therapy and we do homework every night. My dilemma is this, do we do what is best for each child individually and split them up at different schools or do we send all three to the same even though the quality of the education is not as challenging for the other two children. All three desperatly want to go to the first choice school. Alot of their friends are going there since our school is closing.
