[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have JR as a backup (and I wish I did), but I do think it is fair to acknowledge that it is also an imperfect school that is not everyone’s top choice. [/quote]

Your backup plan is renting an apartment in bounds for JB for semester or year.  You are then allowed to stay through the terminal grade.

That said, I have two kids IB for JR, and for one kid it was plan A - a good fit. And for one kid it is back-up plan. The plan A kid had a great experience at Deal and JR seemed more of the same. The back up plan kid is having a not great experience at deal and JR seems more of the same.  [/quote]

Can you say more about the characteristics of kids who thrive at these schools and those who don’t? Weighing a move.[/quote]

Kid for whom deal worked is a solid student,  social, hard working not bothered by distractions. Student applying out is "twice eceptional" so really smart but has adhd and other challenges. Deal is too big, too distracting, too boring. [/quote]

Thanks, this is helpful!![/quote]
