[quote=Anonymous]We moved our kid from public to private this year for HS. The additional expense is putting a strain on our household finances and is creating a fair amount of stress for us. We made it clear to the kid that we were willing to bear the expense but only if they put in the work that would be necessary to ace their classes. Suffice to say, that doesn’t seem to be happening. Grades thus far - early days to be fair - are middling and teachers are expressing concern about homework that is not being done on time and a lack of participation. The kid loves the school and would hate us (and possibly bear a grudge for a long time) for pulling them out and returning them to public, but the huge expense is really hard to justify if they aren’t pulling their weight. We’ll have a long chat and monitor the situation through at least the end of the year, but it’d be good to know how others handled similar situations. [/quote]
