We are at an orientation for our upcoming overseas jobs, and they divide the kids up by age brackets 8-12 and 13-15. DD12 DYS would be put with the 8-12 year olds. I think it would be a horrific fit. There will be lots of discussions about cultural fit, school, etc. and DD is not going to be discussing these topics like an average 12 years old. On top of that, the book they are expected to study is extremely simplistic (written in 1954 no less!!!), and she is upset that she has to read it (we read part of it, and it is pretty bad). She is used to going to school with much older kids (grade and subject accelerated). I want to ask if she can be placed with the older kids, but it's tricky because I will be working with these people and don't want to come across as asking for special favors.
Ok - how do we handle this?
Thanks!!!!
