[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd stick it out for the year while pursuing other options. Teenagers are invariably moody.  They benefit from learning to make the best of situations, at least for a time.  Unless the girl is being relentlessly bullied at the private and admins don't give a hoot, what does she really have to complain about in a world where hundreds of millions of deeply impoverished teenagers in developing countries can't attend school at all, much as they'd love to. 
  
OK, I wouldn't keep here there for years if she really hates it, but sticking the school out for the rest of the year won't kill her as an UMC person with access to all she really needs.  Maybe have her watch the episode of the Crown Season 2 where Prince Charles hates the outdoorsy school in Scotland.  She can learn about how he was stuck there for years but got through it.  If she switches schools mid-year, she's being permitted to take the easy way out.  Not great for character building.  Who knows, if she sticks it out until June, she might even wind up wanting to stay on.[/quote]
