Tonight we go to the orientation at the middle school we are zoned for. We went to the one for the middle school I want my son to go to last week. It will be interesting to compare the two presentations. Thanks for stopping in! Nadine – that sounds like a really interesting option!

I have two daughters, one 10 and one 15 years old. I'm reading with interest your posts about the middle school dilemma, and thought I'd share the changes that just when through our lives: This week is my 10 year-old daughter's first official week studying at home with me. Not homeschool, but an online private academy. I'm not the teacher (which I've never wanted or felt qualified to do); the curriculum is 80% based online through the Internet, and she has two mentors, one for German, and one for everything else. She meets weekly with each mentor, and I'm here if she needs help with her studies. So there are other options, if neither of yours work out for whatever reason. Have a great day! Hi Char,

The school for which we were zoned had lots of behavioral problems-besides which most of her circle of friends from elementary school lived in another area and were going to a different school. On top of which, she's a math whiz and the math program at the school I had her transferred to was much better! Tons of good reasons to send her to another school! I'm now very happy she went there. She was able to remain with her friends. There were fewer behavioral problems and, most of all, she had a math teacher who has been the biggest influence of her school years. She still stops by to visit him occasionally and talk to him about her math classes and college.

I will be interested to see how the next meeting compares. Locally, we had a few parents leave the orientation meetings more anxious than they entered. What did school #1 do to help reduce the stress parents were feeling? Regards, Joe Hello Char,
