[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The extracurriculars were not a ding for us, but needing to pretty much start over with school friends was a downside. My kid wanted to give it a try and has been very happy, but they do feel forgotten by elementary friends – but they know that might have happened along the way anyway. No regrets.[/quote] Both DD went to neighborhood middle school, and all elementary friends drifted. Some moved to private, some formed new friendships and “outgrew” old friends, etc. friendships are pretty fluid at this age. [/quote] PP here – no disagreement here. It just felt abrupt to the kid. It was not at all unexpected by me. And we let the kid make the final decision, knowing if they didn’t feel like it was a good fit, returning to the neighborhood MS was an option. It’s not a utopia, but for my child, the upsides outweighed any (perceived) downsides.[/quote]
