[quote=Anonymous]It’s not the same, but I currently have a 9th grader in private.  He can’t decide if he wants to continue or go back to public next year.  He changes his mind by the day.   DH firmly wants him to stay in private because he hated the public school when he was there a couple of years ago and doesn’t want to go through pulling him again.   I’m on the fence and want to support my kid.

As a parent, look at the best option for your kid and your family.  Don’t worry about the long future but more of the immediate future.  This age is rough and a roller coaster of emotions.  I’m trying to step back and see what gives us the most options and balancing that with what makes the most sense financially.   I can see too much discussion about this is causing anxiety for my son.  You don’t want that for your daughter.

Personally, I would not agree to boarding school at this age unless she really was driven to go.  We looked at a few but it was a mild interest for our son so we quickly dropped it.  The opportunities didn’t matter if it wasn’t something he really wanted.  [/quote]
