[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are putting your ambitions and desires before you kid.[/quote]

Well...No...That's why I am getting peoples' opinions who have been in the same position, to make a good decision for him both academically and socially.[/quote]

He already said he though the kids had attitudes and he’d miss his friends. Stop trying to make yourself feel better for shaking up his social life.[/quote]

OK then... We come on here to ask for advice from parents in a similar situation...not to get bashed...I was just wondering how other kids have adapted in similar situations. That is WHY I am asking, because his mental well being is super important to me. On the other hand, you will always encounter kids you DON'T like everywhere. You need to learn to handle them and also make new friends.

Also, now he seems to want to do it. I actually didn't even once tell him he has to or even should. I just told him he got in and it is HIS choice.  If anything, I told him the cons (his friends not there, way more work etc) and said it's upto him. He said he wants to do it and wants to learn new stuff and meet new people. So I told him, "Ok, but remember that if you aren't happy, we can always get you back to your previous classes." He said he definitely wants to do it now. So problem solved, I guess... [/quote]
