[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry your child has been having troubles at her magnet school.  Since she likes the classes, you might want to talk with the  school counselor before you withdraw.  The counselor might have some ideas on ways  your child can find friends and integrate into the school.

I think it's great that you're being proactive on this and not letting it fester.  I hope things get better soon for your daughter and that she finds happiness at whatever school she decides on.[/quote]
Agree with this advice. 
There are always a couple of students who leave typically at the end of 6th grade but if your child is miserable and knows she will be happier in her home school no need to wait. I wonder if it is worth having her spend a day shadowing in her home middle school if that can be arranged. 
Please make sure the magnet coordinator and the Principal are aware of the situation for the sake of the other children in the school. 
Also don’t let this experience dissuade her from considering a high school Magnet program. If she is accepted into one she can request to shadow a student for a few hours so she gets a sense of how stimulating, safe and well run the school is. 
Good luck to your child [/quote]
I am the PP. if this is Eastern MS please please report this to the principal even if you leave. Also know that for some reason [b]the behavioral problems you observe at Eastern are largely absent at Blair high school[/b] so don’t rule out a Magnet HS without shadowing first [/quote]

That is a straight up lie. [/quote]

My child went to the Eastern magnet and was bullied and disliked the school environment.  Child is now at Blair CAP and Blair has been great.  I agree with the previous poster- none of the same behavioral problems, overall environment is much better.  [/quote]
