[quote=Anonymous]I have a sixth grader in a magnet too. If she were unhappy, there’s no way I would let her withdraw before the end of the first semester, and I would try to get her to finish sixth grade before making a final decision. I agree that your dc should see if he/she can visit classes in your home middle school before withdrawing from the magnet school, to see how it’s different. Lots of sixth graders are trying to sort out a whole new social hierarchy, and in the meantime, they’re making mean comments, cursing like crazy to feel more grown up, no longer friendly to former classmates, etc., while they figure out where they fit in. FWIW, I have twins and the one who attends our home school has been subjected to more mean behavior than my magnet kid has. [/quote]
