Ugh! That must have thrown you for a loop!
I don't know enough of your situation to comment about this more. Are they saying that your daughter's social skills would be ill-met in middle school and have a negative effect on her self esteem? Does the classroom teacher feel like she would do better in smaller groups that are at least grouped by a shared interest?
I have to say that middle school is tough on all kids. It can be a very emotionally brutal time. I have basically counseled my DS9 to try and find one or two friends that really get him and if he finds that count himself lucky. I am still concerned about how he will fare next year.
Are you feeling relieved that someone is advocating what you would have chosen yourself or wondering why the game seems suddenly changed?
