[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the other posters who suggest a bigger school. I had wrongly assumed that the smaller private school known for both strong academics and its accepting & inclusive culture would be a good environment for our kid whose interests fall outside the norm of many of his peers. But smaller schools can also be claustrophobic socially, and it's hit and miss by class year (older sibling had a much better class social dynamic). So after 3 years, he took a chance and transferred to a large public school where he absolutely BLOSSOMED socially! This was an unexpected surprise because he seemed like such a "small school kid" to me...I was wrong.[/quote] But maybe those three years of personal development in a kinder environment made that blossoming in a bigger place possible too? Either way, great that he's happy![/quote]
