Can you explain what you mean? I [i]think [/i]you mean that even if my child has intermediate deadlines because of the IEP, the other kids in the group would not, so that IEP accommodation would be pointless?

In MS, that IEP accommodation basically means that the teacher writes out an alternative timeline and the kids who have this accommodation need to show to the teacher that they are making progress at various points along the way. Essentially the teacher writes out a project plan for the kids with milestones vs. having just one end date for the whole project. But the kids are not graded on meeting those milestones, it just helps the kids plan out their work.

I don't think the construction will be an issue.

The freedom at lunch is one of the things that really appeals to my DC LOL!

Frankly, my main concern is self induced stress. My DC sets very high internal standards. These are self imposed. DH and I try very hard NOT to place any pressure on DC.

Someone mentioned commute. We happen to live not terribly far away and I know that there is a morning carpool of kids not that far. DC would have to take the bus home in the afternoons.

It's a hard decision because I think in many ways TJ would be a much better social fit, and that sense of social mismatch is a source of stress for DC now. It's all a balancing act.[/quote]
