This is a troll post. The time of year to discourage folks from going to certain schools.

Do you mean they have bumper stickers on like 75% of other parents?!?

OP, I agree with others, but it depends on the reason. But if it is only academic I would start with testing for LDs if this is a new issue. I would also look to a school that has a strong learning support program. SJC or DJO perhaps. It might be easier to get into the SJC benilde program as an upperclassman as some students don’t remain in the program all 4 years.


No, not the normal bumper stickers. Painted on the windows, streamers. For months.


Ha ha they probably have a senior and they decorate it! We have kids at other schools and this is common.

Nope. Freshman

Oh, please. Why wouldn’t they accept a kid?

Also I would rank both Landon and Bullis higher than Prep


No - Landon is peer w/ Prep and Bullis below both of them.

OP here-son has no behaviroal issues at all but unfortunately is doing quite badly in 2 classes: one which would not be required at many other schools and one which is a core class.


Well, for the core class, it’s tutors; maybe even a summer program w the new school. If the other is something religious, that’s great news and you could use it excuse the other thing — felt pressured, felt unwelcome, felt unscientific. I don’t know but lots of ways to spin it

Benilde is only an option at SJC as an incoming freshman. If it’s potential learning issues, look into testing, and executive functioning coaching, and tutors.
