[quote=Anonymous]Right now it sounds like his heels are pretty much dug in, so you're in a power struggle. Only you know your child, but would he be open to a deal where you agree that he'll get to make the final decision as long as he gives the private a fair consideration? That would mean visit with an open mind if he's accepted, really think about the strengths and drawbacks of each, think about how he could manage friendships if he did change schools, etc.? If you can move him out of being dug into a position into making a thoughtful decision, that may be the best option. If you move him to a new school against his will, he absolutely has the ability to make sure he has a terrible experience, which benefits no one.[/quote]
