[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I kinda wish they’d do away with centers. Uprooting your 8 year old just as they’ve gotten to make friends, feel comfortable (if not challenged) at school, know who/where everything is sucks. Plus leaving friends behind. I know it’s not like your child getting into a center means they have to go, but at the same time declining doesn’t change the system; it just pulls your child from an opportunity.[/quote]

You have the choice of staying at the base school. No one is uprooting anyone, except for the parents.

One of mine stayed at the base with friends. One of mine went to the center. Both qualified and both did what was best for them.

If changing schools is traumatic for your kid, keep them at the base school.[/quote]

Yes of course. As I said though, declining doesn’t change the system. Just deprives your child of an opportunity. My kid is not traumatized, but that doesn’t mean it’s a great system. It’d be great not to have to chose between the two is all. [/quote]

If you don't like the system then just don't use it.

I never understand the people who insist that if they are not wanting to do something then no one else should be allowed to either.[/quote]

*shrugs* not really insisting on anything. Is this where I say I never understand the people who think expressing an opinion on something  means suggesting “no one else should be allowed to” do whatever it is??

At any rate I imagine OP doesn’t love the center either or s/he wouldn’t be asking about how to get a local level IV.[/quote]
