[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the “fraught” line, OP’s child is maybe at Maury. Maury now consistently sends 25+ 5th graders each year to 6th at EH. People splits different ways with respect to the middle school. OP might very well ultimately decide EH is a no for her child. Going to an Open House there this year alongside the other schools and being unafraid to politely ask people in the school community re middle school (just admit to being undecided) makes a lot of sense.[/quote] I agree and would say don't hesitate to bring it up. We just went through this and I think the weird silence surrounding this issue contributes to it being "fraught" and does the kids a disservice. They're old enough to understand some of the dynamics and secrecy just leads to hurt feelings and false impressions. Open discussions and acceptance of different choices is the best way to support these kids who are going through a stressful time. [/quote]
