[quote=Anonymous]08:37 here again.  You may want to talk to the middle school guidance counselor, and find out who else from the school is going.  It's not impossible, of course, but you'll want to consider things like a game plan if he misses the bus, his social life criss-crossing Ffx county to hang out with friends, his level of motivation to manage a lot of additional responsibility.  There were times I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at school or while on the bus.  The workload began to feel normal to me, but it was disheartening at times to feel like I was busting my butt everyday incl weekends and not getting straight A's like I prob would have had at base school.  That was my personal experience long ago, obviously your son may have a different experience.  No one would think a long commute to TJ is an easy road, but certainly doable especially if it is the right fit for him.  It's hard to pass up an opportunity like Tj, so I wouldn't let your worry take over.  Just focus on things you and he can do to keep things manageable-packing healthy snacks, finding others from your base school to commute with, etc.[/quote]
