[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Incredibly sad story. Despite it being the Great Read I felt like there was a lot left out. It seems like the school had been trying to counsel the student out for awhile. It is sad that the parents and school couldn’t work together to identify a more appropriate option and encourage the boy that he could have a good experience there. Suicide is impulsive though so it is very hard to draw a straight line between his dismissal and death, especially when other things like COVID were going on. Mainly it is just tremendously sad.[/quote]

My heart broke for the family. And it does look like the school made it clear that it wasn’t the place where he would thrive. But it’s easy to see how, as a parent, you would focus on the positives and the progress that’s being reported, especially without grades to help paint the picture. I wonder what happened in the years after they were permitted to stay; was there an implicit understanding that the child would leave after 8th?  Regardless…heartbreaking and eye opening. Hugging my DC a little tighter this morning. There but for the grace of God go any of us. [/quote]
