We haven't had to withdraw dd since we never put her in, but I have a sense of loss as well because I enjoyed school for the most part and I feel sad knowing what she is missing, but when the only school here tells you she will just have to be miserable, then I know it would never work and she would not get what I got out of it. And I totally agree with the fact no one mentions that school may not work for your child in any of the parenting books. It is just assumed that when they are 5 they will go to K and follow the path, but it is a sense of loss that for our kids it just don't work that way.
