[QUOTE="buddy, post: 504524, member: 12886"] Hi, I really have no idea what the best answer is to this. It did pop questions into my head but I am not in any way suggesting which way to go, OK?? (smile) Did your kids have trouble with grades prior to this? (thnking, if this is a long term issue then moving them back, while consistent with the behavior portion of the agreement may not help improve the grades) Is this a school that has higher achievement standards (like schools for gifted talented kids, even if a chlld IS a GT student, they may not have the learning style for that type of school--thinking I dont know if I would then waste more time losing a whole school year, there are still four whole months of school so if they are really in over their heads???) How old are the kids? Do they have any unmet needs or was this all about social issues (which is not a bad thing, friends are important too). I have a student with intense special needs and it is very hard for him to change but he is not a typical learner. Socially changing schools can be very intense but if it is to a school they had already been to so still have connections it may not be as difficult. If they are going to be held back anyway, well, maybe then leave them. See, no help at all but I guess I would weigh my feelings on all of these things and then decide. I would not suggest being extra punitive just to do it now.... In future if you are negotiating you may lose trust (now clearly we all have times we have to change our minds and rules but you have to decide for yourself, is THIS one of those times??? Will it make enough of a difference? How are they going to suddenly do better if they transfer?) I hope you post back what your decision is because now I am curious. It is not easy and I feel for you. [/QUOTE]
