Hi,

I don't have any direct experience, but suspect I might find myself in your shoes if the school we have chosen for DD4 next year doesn't work out.

I did just want to share some insight from DD's tester (an ed psych specialising in gifted kids), who told us that 'it's ok to have one bad year, just don't make it two'. I guess I just mean to say is - take heart that he should be fine and I'd just do whatever you feel you have to get through these last weeks and do what you can to get a better situation for him for the next year.

I have the same concerns about pulling kids out of difficult situations - but it is also heart breaking seeing your kid so unhappy, especially when you know they are not getting the support they need. I guess I think that if a situation has no hope of improvement and it's intolerable then it's not such a bad thing to learn that it's ok to leave. If the situation is one that will improve if it's worked through, then I think there is a valuable lesson in staying on if possible.

Good luck!
