[quote=Anonymous]A lot depends on your school district. Kids want to feel "normal". Any childcare needed, including summer camps, will be important to consider. Medical co-payments might be expensive. Also consider glasses and orthodontia. You need to consider whether she will have any high school extracurriculars with field trip traditions (band, choir, Model UN). If your income is stretched, the school or extracurricular may have ability to cover for you if you need help. Always ask if you need help. Some families want to help because they were helped. And schools are more conscious of inclusion now. Plus your daughter may be motivated to get a high school job (this can be a good thing).[/quote]
