[quote=Anonymous]Academically the CES was a great fit, socially it was awful. The kids were so competitive, sometimes mean, it really set DD back in terms of socioemotional health and happiness. She lost her old social connections due to the busy schedule and entered middle school a loner (which she was not in 3rd). DH and I are not sorry we tried it, but in hindsight we wish we had pulled her after it was clear it was a poor fit in that respect. She’s a brilliant self motivated kid who enjoyed the curriculum, but would have been just fine without it. You know your child. My recommendation is to try it to see, easy enough to return to the home school if it’s not a great fit. A few kids did so each year.[/quote]
