Now her current school offers a 7 to 9 middle school program but she is thinking of following her friends to a normal high school, that's has year 7 to 12. I would like her to stay put, her current school knows her difficulties but then she said in year 10 when she swaps over she would have to make new friends when friendships would be well establish. It is hard to decide weather to let her make the choice or me. Sorry that's my vent I do not think there is any right or wrong answers it comes down to gut instincts I think. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013684534258017305.post-43202422858072527402013-03-11T10:19:05.110+08:002013-03-11T10:19:05.110+08:00Thanks Suldog - I think there are going to be lots...Thanks Suldog - I think there are going to be lots of issues that haven't been fully thought through yet!<br /><br />Thanks OldNFO ... stay tuned :)<br /><br />Paxford - we have taken this into consideration but the benefit of one of the specialist programs, in our opinion and hers, outweighs "I want to be with my friends" - interestingly enough this isn't something she is concerned about. I guess she sees them at other activities (basketball / scouts) and chats to them of Facebook and the like.<br />We're not really keen to put her in one school for a year then change her (to say nothing of the $670 enrollment fee and uniform costs!).<br />Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506274310934059070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013684534258017305.post-60896508679356769312013-03-11T09:35:39.627+08:002013-03-11T09:35:39.627+08:00Is it possible to send her to the school that her ...Is it possible to send her to the school that her friends will be attending - and if you are successful with the other applications - swap then?<br />(I can't recall from my days at Catholic Girls School requiring to sign a multi-year contract. but then again - that was back in the stone age I'm told :D)<br /><br />PaxPaxfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05402369357419216865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013684534258017305.post-69940457995387412042013-03-09T23:07:31.445+08:002013-03-09T23:07:31.445+08:00Ouch, not a lot of fun on any side... and the not ...Ouch, not a lot of fun on any side... and the not knowing will eat on everybody.
