[quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader wasn't thrilled when I told her she'd be going to the CES program and that she'd change schools, though she did realize that it was an honor and that she was lucky to "win the raffle" as she put it. I know it's only been a month but she is completely miserable and hates school. She has made friends, which is huge, but her teacher is not the nurturing type and she's really feeling the pressure of the extra homework and higher expectations. Any advice on how I can support her and how long to make her stick it out? At some point should we chalk it up to a mistake and go back to the old school? Though she was happy in the old school, very happy, she definitely was not being as challenged as she is now and did get frustrated at times with the slow pace of some of the other students. I definitely don't think childhood needs to be all unicorns and rainbows, but I also don't think 4th grade should be joyless.[/quote]
