[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ours has been a disaster. A bunch of new kids coming into 9th, and I'm still not sure that the class has gelled. The schedule for my kid has been gruelling, and, as a 14-year-old boy, he simply lacks the maturity or executive functioning to take on the level of responsibility asked of him. There is a lot in the middle here that I won't go into for purposes of my kid's privacy, but the end of the story is that he's repeating 9th grade. Yes, my kid needs to take responsibility, but I don't think we would be where we are if my kid had been at a different school. Not sure what we are doing next year. I'm just trying to figure out the last two weeks of school. We might move to a small college town with good public schools and change our overall pace of life. Last kid, we have flexibility, and his well-being and my sanity are more important than being at the big name school he currently attends. At least for 9 more days, but I'm not county...[/quote]

Sorry, you are going through this. I am jealous that you can move. Our school has been okay. Big disappointment in not being able to make sports teams and school not having any real non-academic clubs (though the list they post is impressive). Work has been a struggle, we are happy to scrape by with C's in some classes. [/quote]
