[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm so sorry for this horrible experience for your son - and you. I have a nephew (also Asian) whose parents sent him to boarding school at age 12 because they lived in a very small/remote town where they owned a business. He had such a horrible experience there (bullying, etc) and became schizophrenic later. Please get your son immediately and give him security and love and compassion. His mental and physical health are way more important than any academic opportunity. He can get decent school experience at a day school where you live and language immersion with you (your English is perfect!) or by doing after school activities. You could get a lawyer involved if they will not listen to you to at least give a neutral recommendation letter. [/quote]

I have relatives/family who started at 11 (possibly even a little earlier?) in the UK, but I don’t think that’s done in the USA unless there are unusual circumstances. And I think the schools there prepare the kids better to start younger. [/quote]
