[quote=Anonymous]So sorry you and your child are going through this. I really hope you find a good place for your son. Looking at this from another point of few, if this private is super academic, the school may genuinely be concerned that their high school will be tramatic for your child. The pressure in high school at these places is really tough and can take a toll on kids without a very strong self image. It's survival of the fitest.. not the most intelligent. Your son sounds brilliant, but high school at Sidwell, for example, is a lot about organization, time management, writing and ability to discuss complex issues in a small class. It's extremely stressful and exhausting. The kids literally don't have time to sleep 8 hours! Maybe Burke, Blythe Templeton or Field would be a better fit. I know you are upset, but please ask your current school for help with an outplacement.[/quote]
