[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious about parents moving kids in and out of various schools in the matter of a few years. How do the the kids react to so much change? Changing schools is HARD. It takes a few months to adjust. Even kids returning to their old schools will have to adjust to changes in friendships, teachers, etc. I am wondering if my kids are just creatures of habit. It was hard for them to start a new school for 9th in high school! [/quote]

My child will end up at 3 schools in 4 years.

Finished K in Montessori at his preschool (only went through K)
Went private for 1/2 to get in person for Covid
Back to public (where he should have gone for 1st)

He isn’t great at change, but is excited to go to public because we’ve hyped up all the things it has that the tiny private doesn’t (music, multiple playgrounds, etc) Also, of his class of 10 kids, only 3 are returning for the fall, so it was going to be a big change with all new kids anyway.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter though. I can’t pay $20k/year for the next 10 years so that he doesn’t have a difficult month of transition. I would rethink if he were in high school and it were short term, maybe.[/quote]
