[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you turned down a spot in a regional CES, why? And are you happy with that decision?

If you were on the fence and sent your kid to a CES and ended up happy or regretting it-- why?

Thanks.

Op, if you're in doubt, you should just give up the seat. If you stay, things are going to get more difficult, and you're going to wonder why you accepted in the first place. It might be all the work your child has to do and that you have to support as the parent. It might be the friends your child has to leave behind. It might be the bus ride that's more inconvenient than you expected. It might be the lack of school spirit. It might be the lack of after school activities. It might be the lack of a 5th grade graduation ceremony and celebration (yes, this really happened, or failed to happen).[/quote]

Hm... that's an interesting thought, thanks. I'm not really in doubt-- unless a number of key friends plan to leave, which could sway my kid (who otherwise leans against going). Kid doesn't make the final decision, but that's the main thing that would make me reconsider. I guess I was looking to see both what others' experiences were and-- if anyone wants to share-- how others who knew of their decision reacted. That doesn't influence me whatsoever, but I am curious if people didn't care or were judgmental in some way. [/quote]
