Yes, we do have some doubts, and that is coloring my feelings here. Also, up to today, her doubts/concerns have been easily addressed and seemed like ones any reasonable person would have regardless of wanting a change in most ways (eg, "I will miss my friends"), but today she focused on the programs that will admittedly be absent at the new school, and that is harder to address positively.
She has visited the school (as have we) while it was in session, but briefly, as part of a scheduled tour. I don't think shadowing is an option.
To be clear, we have not presented it as "You need to decide" but as "We as a family need to make a decision together, and your input matters." In the end we will have the final power, possibly going against her preference, but I really, really would rather not make it into "Yes, you are too going". She is very stubborn, emotional and intense and I fear that would start us off on the absolute wrong foot.
