[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I have decided the high performing Catholic high school will be the best school for our DD. (DH and I went to Catholic schools and really like the model of rules, high expectations, etc)

We have an older DS who is a Senior at the local "good" public high school, but we have been very disappointed with it.  Too huge, kid is quiet so gets totally overlooked, 504 plan for ADHD is basically ignored, little homework or way too much with no guidance.  I feel like it's not college prer, but rather "get the kid through and out"  We want much better for ou

So, we've told out 8th grader that she will be going to St. X school, but she is totally against it.  She wants the "easy" path of her older brother.  She's afraid of having 2-3 hours of homework per night.  She's says she'll have no friends (she's shy and only has 2 now), doesn't want to travel farther for it, etc.

I know St. X is the best place for her.  Can I make her go, or is she destined for failure if her heart isn't in it?[/quote]

Not all Catholic schools are the same. Do you know that the school you are looking at is going to be a good fit for her? It might be very different then the school you attended. [/quote]
