And I just thought I wish I would have been more open and checked out the school before I put him inside of that private school.

But you live and you learn.

Do they have enough supports for him?

That's the other thing.

They have lots of support for him.

At the school as well, they're able to give him an IEP, an individual learning plan for children with disabilities, right?

And he also, his teachers are incredible.

His teachers are incredible.

And I have to point out, I didn't love the teacher that he had.

I just think they weren't compatible, student and teacher, to put it in a nice way at his other school.

So I'm paying all these private school fees.

And then he's in the end.

Well, first of all, especially when it comes to education or anything, always weigh out all the options.

Don't be closed to certain options.

I think in my mind, a big part of it as well is that I'm a single mom and I put a lot of pressure on myself because I am the primary parent to make sure that I'm doing a good job and he has a good outcome.

And I think that really drove my decision versus being practical and saying, what are all the options here?

And private school may not be the best option.

And even when it was time to pull him out, it was a very emotional decision for me because it almost felt like I was failing in a way.

Like I attached so much meaning to I'm able to be a single mom and put him in private school and give him the best.

And I can do this all by myself that I was basically stepping on my own feet financially and putting myself.
