[quote=Anonymous]My DC is in a lovely, caring, small, and somewhat struggling school outside of DC.  For a host of reasons relating to location to home and other DCs' schools, school vacation schedules, and my DC's needs, we are strongly considering leaving.  We've been upfront about this to the school, which has received this news with great unhappiness.  Our DC's teacher, with whom I've always had a good relationship (she was DC's teacher last year too) has been extremely distant, unwilling to communicate in email beyond "ok" unless to communicate almost aggressivley how happy my DC is, etc.  I feel certain the school is professional enough not to take this out on DC, but I do worry that DC won't get quite the same treatment as the other kids who are staying.  I don't want this to be a thing the entire year.  Is it unethical to tell them we're applying out to see but will probably stay, pay the deposit, and then just tell them we're not coming back right before the June deadline (after school is over)?  They are underenrolled so will not turn down a kid bc they think DC is staying.  [/quote]
