I've been thinking about this and I suddenly realised that DD1 is in a private school I forgot... she's in an independant school that costs less than most public schools in our areas, but its an alternative to home schooling and we participate much more than you would expect in another school.

She's doing a transition year at school, but will be going there until she starts year 7. Its not that I don't like the public schools in our area, its just that her special needs are met perfectly where she is.
