[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We faced a similar situation in that DS was accepted to two good options and I was leaning hard one way and he adamantly wanted the other option. I spoke with several people I trust including his current head of school and they all said at this age trust your student. Even if you think you know better, when it gets challenging - and everyone has challenges in high school - it's better if they go in knowing this was their choice. If you force another school, the first time there's aproblem it will be "You made me come here." So we let our student decide. If I'm honest, it still hurts my heart and I do second guess our decision almost daily. But I'm 100% supportive to my student and I feel like they do have to make the choice.[/quote] I agree with this. Kids grow and mature significantly during HS years. Sometimes you just don’t know what will work out best. Unless her choice is a bad school, I would go with her choice.[/quote]
