[quote=Anonymous]Everyone's priorities are different, and I don't think there's a "wrong" decision. With that said, I agree with some PPs that recommend trying the HGC with the option that you can always switch back if it's not a positive environment. It doesn't have to be a permanent choice. You have nothing to lose by trying a program that provides great academics, and I think most kids are resilient and will make new friends fairly easily after the initial transition, especially in a situation like an HGC where there's a lot of new kids. My first inclination wouldn't be to have friends drive academics since your child can still have playdates and keep in touch with the old friends; however, I do think school should be a positive experience and if he still wants to go to his old school after a year it would be easy to switch back.[/quote]
