[quote=Anonymous]Assuming it's done carefully and coordinated with parents, I actually think the fact any school will "counsel out" a child speaks highly of the school. Not every school is the right "fit" for every child; it seems inevitable that there will be situations where the child and school discover they don't match. Maybe the academics are too hard or too easy, maybe the kid longs for more of some special program (theater, sports, tuba, whatever). It would be really unfortunate if the school ignored these mismatches, and kept every child enrolled despite the problems. I respect a school that spots kids who are not fitting in, works to help them fit better, and (if necessary) works with the family to place the child in a better-fit school. I'd imagine that when this happens, many families appreciate the school's efforts, rather than resenting them.[/quote]
