So, my 10 year old dd, had her 10 y/o check up. When she asked my dd how things were going, my dd told her how much she hates school, how she is so bored, etc. This went on for about 15 minutes. Then the ped turned to me and said, "well, this isn't working, can you homeschool her again or find a private school?" UGH. I totally wish it wasn't in front of my dd, although, in the doctors defense, I truly think she is worried for my dd, as I am too. Personally, I am worried if we keep her in public school, where she was bullied, again, that she will end up seriously depressed. We already tried Zoloft, with little success for what we thought was anxiety. But it is only anxiety about school, nothing else. Like, she can perform on stage in front of thousands of people, and have no issues. But put her in a classroom with 30 kids, get bullied, and that's it. So, I tried homeschooling her for 2 years. First year great, second year she hated it. I had her psych tested to see where her strengths/weaknesses were to see if I could better challenge her. Still didn't help. She is a major extrovert, loves the social world. There is a private school, a very expensive private school ($15,000) a year that would probably be a wonderful fit for her. I feel like a commercial when I say how do you put a price tag on your child's happiness, but that is where I am at now. She is going to go shadow next week, and see what she thinks. The problem is that I will probably love it so much I want all 3 kids there. Then it is really pricey! Any advice? Thoughts? Any been there done that?
