[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry you aren't happy with your options. Please try not to pass that along to your kid, who has no preconceived notions of what middle school is like and might be happy at places you aren't sure of.

Or maybe your kid won't like middle school, but there are unhappy kids at every middle school in the world. It's a tough age--kids are mean, hormonal, immature, smelly...and still expected to learn and take more responsibility. It's three years and your kid will make it through with support from you and people and activities outside of school. High school is often better. [/quote]

Great advice. I will keep that in mind to show my child optimism about the options that we have.[/quote]

LOL probably not the best pep talk for your kid! I meant it for you. For your kid, maybe play up the increased opportunities to learn about more subjects in school, have multiple teachers each day, more extracurricular activities, more freedom and responsibility, etc.

Also, several suburban districts have dual language programs. So you might want to read up on the PG, Maryland, and Virginia forums about what it takes to get into them. You may be able to find housing you can afford in districts you prefer.[/quote]
