[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switch at semester.
And talk to your DD about how she’s doing just fine but the commute and “fit” are not compatible. Sew this in her mind as the dominate narrative so that she internalizes it.

Then when she is applying to colleges, she will
have something brief and innocuous to write in the section that asks to explain why you transferred schools if you did not attend the same school for all 4 years of high school. (Yes—there is an open-ended response for this.)
She can write a brief 2-3 sentences that explains that she was honored to be selected to attend, but the time commitment of the commute interfered with her ability to participate fully in her beloved after-school passion or treacle sport or volunteering at her local elementary school. Or she discovered that she could take XX course at her base school with a certain teacher whom students rave about, or or or….

Whatever the reason, make it a positive one about how she pivoted direction because she realized the advantages of attending home base school rather than staying at TJ for four years.[/quote]

So…brainwash your child into believing a lie that can then be presented on college apps. [/quote]

Well, yes.

What would you suggest?[/quote]

I would suggest you teach your kid that sometimes things don’t work out and you grow and learn from the experience. I don’t suggest doing what you suggest…since it teaches your child nothing except to make up excuses to yourself rather than face reality.[/quote]
