[quote=Anonymous]I really get how hard it is to see your kid be miserable at a new school. At the same time, along with reasons cited above, I'd have her stay at least through the end of the year because when you avoid a stressful situation, it reinforces the notion in the brain that that situation is not to be touched again. This is great for something like driving under the influence (don't do it again! you shouldn't do it again!) But for something like getting used to a new environment, I think it teaches a kid that they can't find their home someplace new. Yes, some places should be left, but not before they have time to try it out more. I say this very gently, as someone who sometimes gets overly emotionally involved in her own daughter's low points: Are you wanting her to switch back because you think it's the right thing for her, or because you want to avoid her pain and yours?
