I am a 25 year homeowner and the parent of a LD daughter who has been in an IEP in a public school the past 5 years. She is failing this year and needs more individualized attention than the public school can provide. She needs almost one on one teaching. We are spending 3 hours and more a night helping her study and finish classwork. We have found a private school that has smaller classes that can help her. We live near 2 brand new schools, but if the teachers in them can`t give her time and attention, then she`ll continue to fail. I`ve paid my taxes, homeowners, state, county sales tax, and federal for many years. I try to be independant of any government services, but, on my daughter`s behalf: Please pass this bill!!!!THANKS!!!
