[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I have really appreciated all the advise.  But I wonder if the bigger issue is not friends, but rather his general demeanor of not wanting to do much of anything with anyone else; preferring to do things alone.  And that won't change with a new school.  Quiet kids seem to get left behind in a traditional classroom, and the alternative school for him would dedinitely be bigger than his current situation.  I wonder then if he's at least getting a great education, which we are sure about, is it as important to be happy going to school or is just a necessary thing he needs to struggle through, much like adults going to work do?[/quote]

Two examples.

Well, when I was unhappy at the elite school, I was in the top third.  Beck in public, I finished with good enough grades to go ivy.  It is important not to be isolated. It is not important to be populat, but you need some friends.

My son sees very few kids out of school because he is fairly introverted. Even he needs people to eat lunch with, though. [/quote]

I left out the important part: once I wasn't sad I turned in more of my homework and was more comfortable stretching myself.  So, I became a different student.
