[quote=Anonymous]If you don't want the middle school, and you can make a commute work (even if it sucks), then go ASAP. We were trying to wait til 3rd or 4th, to keep our easy walk to school. But kiddo is "deeply feeling" and had a hard time in the environment, which combined with an overwhelmed and insensitive first grade teacher, pushed us out sooner.

Wasn't expecting the school environment to fix things entirely, but a month into the year at the new school (a Hardy feeder) and we are going to stop the therapy she was doing for anxiety, nightmares, and school refusal.

I also am really enjoying a parent community that is boosting Hardy - lots of her classmates have big siblings there now. It's nice knowing that a lot of her classmates will be with her from now until then. Middle school is hard socially no matter where you go, but I never really considered how much better it would be to start it with friends. Getting a spot at a feeder to a middle school you like (or at least don't hate) now could make a big difference.[/quote]
