[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on your DC. Some kids are naturally outgoing self advocators and willing to do the work to find out whats offered at the school and then take advantage of it. Some kids are just not. DC was a in a small private for a while. There were many adults that knew him and what is strengths and weaknesses were. Now he's at a huge public HS. He has no idea how to navigate around to find out about clubs, events, or other activities that are going on in the school. His teachers do not give him any slack ever for anything. Grandparents in town for the first time ever? Need to take a day off to see them? Sorry, not our problem, not an excused absence, next? It's very impersonal. Some teachers actually do seem to enjoy the kids and teaching the classes but they are few and far between. I feel badly for DC. He will be swept along and graduate at some point but I worry that he will look back on his experience and feel cheated. Oh well.[/quote]
