[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going to happen to help you make up your mind after May 1 that can't happen before May 1? Sometimes having infinite time to make a decision isn't possible (or even necessarily desirable).

I want to see how the school year shakes out for my oldest, friendship-wise and academic-wise. I also want them to be involved in the decision (not the decision maker, but part of the conversation), and think it will be easier to do this once the school year is wrapped. We've discussed a lot as a family but kiddo goes back and forth on whether they want to change, which at 2nd grade, is influenced by how good of a school day/week they've had. Finally, our current school just opened a new building for pre-K and kinder TODAY, and it comes with a lot of pros and cons (great new space, much more complicated logistics), and I want to see how it plays out over the next few months.

The way you describe your 2nd grader really highlights why they should not be involved in making this decision. Frankly, whether they had a good year friendship wise (especially if it’s been relatively fickle) should not affect your long term school plans. People will start to bail from your charter after 4th for all sorts of reasons anyway.[/quote]
