[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a parent at BCC but I don't know much about what is or isn't available at school. The problem is that we don't have an effective method of communication. The listserv is dominated by those who advertize their services, discuss off topics, etc. Most of those people are no longer parents at BCC. There are hundreds of such unrelated messages a day. I missed school related deadlines and events. Some argue we would keep the status quo because it is a community builder. It is not a school community builder, that's for sure, because it keeps so many of us, parents, in the dark and isolated.

Not to mention, my 9th grader has felt completely lost in the sauce all year. She was engaged in several activities at Westland, but none at BCC. She barely knows her guidance counselor and feels isolated from her teachers.  We are moving her after this year. I think the environment is just too big and overwhelming for her to thrive.  I had this precise fear when we attended the open house in the fall. [/quote]

Many freshmen have the same problem.  They have gone from being  big fish in the little Westland pond to the small fish in the BCC lake.   Most likely she feels intimidated by older kids like she was when she was in sixth grade at Westland.  It all works out in the end.[/quote]
