[quote=Anonymous]I was reading this and couldn't help thinking that the parents who are so interested in "controlling" and "protecting" their kids but tucking them into a k-12 school are taking away a huge opportunity for their kids to learn valuable life lessons, take risks and build strength. Yes, in 8th grade there is a moment of discomfort of not being able to stay secure in your school...you darlings will have to step outside of what is comfortable and learn how to navigate the world and even experience how various systems work - a huge slice of reality. I don't have a horse in this race (my kids are going to public for now and then we will try our luck and skills at navigating the middle schools and high schools depending on how my kid turns out. Will she love sports? Be strong in academics? Who knows - she is 6!!!! Please if you are keeping your kid in a k-12 for "security" - think about the real options for growth and the benefits of change etc. [/quote]
