[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of student is your child? We have decided to go to private school, so my knowledge is from touring the school and talking to friends. My sense is that it's a fabulous school for strong students who are self starters; I've also heard good things about the school from kids who high levels of special education needs. Kids in the middle, especially if they struggle with executive function or anxiety (both of which describe my child) don't do as well there.[/quote] My child has executive functioning problems. She's a good student and gets all As and Bs, but we're coming from a small school where her teachers are all invested in her. She came off of an IEP last year, but still struggles. We're working on those skills, but afraid she'll fall through the cracks in such a large school. I don't mind homeschooling and would love to do it if it weren't for lack of social opportunities. It's the main reason I'm considering [b]trying out Deal.[/b] [/quote] Try it out. if you find it's not working for your child, then leave. But it's worth a try. [/quote]
