[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone declined/is declining because they are not so confident if DC will do well in the CES program? DS is offered a spot but we are still contemplating. While he can read and spell like an adult and scores high in MAP/above reading level/straight As, but he lacks writing, comprehension and analytics skills, which seem to be the main focus of the CES program. We are worried DS might struggle in the program and need to drop out later (though DS personally really want to do the CES program). Any insights from families who went through the program but dropped out later because the program was not a good fit?[/quote]

The CES is great. Do not let your worries about that influence your decision! That's what the CES is there for, to build your child's writing skills. The only kids we know who struggled have a lot of anxiety or perfectionism tendencies or special needs and not the ones that came in as struggling writers. Grades don't matter so if your child is struggling the stakes are low.[/quote]
