[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of folks have commented to just take the spot and you can always switch after a year.  While that is true and a reasonable choice to make, it is better for the collective if you are able to figure out if it's right for you before making the choice. There is a lot of information that can point you in the right direction and help determine what your priorities are.  But also taking a spot now just to try it does take away a spot from someone on the waitlist who will likely not have the option later (virtually impossible to get in later grades if not a sibling) and may have strong reasons why it's the learning style for their child.  Good luck with your decision. [/quote]

New poster here. While I sympathize I see PPs logic. It’s not that they are telling OP to try it for fun. It’s just that if OP feels like it’s the right choice but is still worried about making a decision she should just go ahead and enroll her child. If she hates it with such a passion then she can pull her kid out. I don’t think ppl are saying take the decision lightly - a year is a long time. I faced the same situation with private school. We switched to private last year with covid and was so worried about our decision (also had worries about it re covid but we had limited options cuz of our work situation). I reminded myself that although I feel like this is a good decision if I am wrong then yes I can pull my child out. Turns out we did make the right decision and so happy with our choice that we decided to stick to private. Like the two PPs who have their kids in catholic school, I appreciate the fact that our school focuses on the basics. Our public school is wonderful and highly regarded but the focus on the basics is just not there. [/quote]
