[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 363960, member: 3419"] difficult child definitely wants to stay at the Catholic school. He has finally made friends, he's used to the routine, and hates change. Yes, they could be sweet talking me, but the principal has no vested interest in keeping him there; she is being transferred to TN. The diocese transfers the principals every yr. husband and I think it's because they don't want the nuns getting too much of a power base and backtalking the diocese. :winking: Hey, having grown up in the feminist '70s, and during the Vietnam war when all the nuns wore armbands, and all but one of my elementary school teachers/nuns left the convent, power is a real thing. Anyway, difficult child will have all new teachers next yr. It's kind of a cr*p shoot. At least the bldg will be the same, the routine will be similar, and his friends will be there. The one big change is changing classrooms for every class. They do that in public school, too. I'm having him do workbook pps every a.m., and sending him to a math tutor this summer, so he won't fall behind. That is a non-negotiable point, no matter where he goes. [/QUOTE]
