[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just visited the Tysons location yesterday and we are considering it for 11th grader DD who really started struggling this year in public HS. It seems like it could be a great option. Warm atmosphere, engaged teachers and administrator. Will decide soon but probably will have to figure out how to manage the cost. We may use it as a stop gap while addressing underlying anxiety/depression.[/quote] Just curious, if she's in 11th grade, maybe the remaining 1.5 years of school IS the "stopgap." I can't see t being beneficial to put her in fusion for a semester or two and then back to public for the remainder of senior year. [/quote] I could. If a child is getting treated for anxiety/depression, a semester or two might give them the time to give therapy and medication time to improve their over all well being in a lower stress environment.[/quote] Right but at this age that would put her back in public for the last semester of her senior year. It seems like for any school change at this age, it would make sense to have it be the final change. She's 2 semesters and 1 quarter from graduating! [/quote] Change in school only needs to help the kid. It doesn't need to make sense to others.[/quote]
