Do you feel a large or small school is better for a fairly normal child? (Long)

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 208819, member: 1550"] Thanks again. Ok, I do know that kids in sports can get into trouble. I am hoping that N. makes good choices. She saw her sister in handcuffs, and, right now (at age 12) has no desire to go through the drama her sister did. That doesn't mean she won't change, but they ARE very different. So this isn't about a difficult child going to a big school. We have talked to our small school until we are blue in the face. They don't really have much in the way of Learning Disability (LD) services after sixth grade. If she stays here, she will be in a small school until she graduates. These kids are not transferred to the bigger school, and there are maybe 40 graduates each year. I have always considered this a big plus, but my daughter doesn't like having so few to chose from as friends. She is very social, but not particularly caring about whether or not her friends are "popular" or not. She doesn't like drama queen friends...lol. We are going to spend the year checking it out at the other school since we can't transfer her this year anyway. We'd have to pay tuition. Like we have $6K a year!!! If anything starts to stink, the other school won't have to kick her out. I'll bring her back myself. So far she has never been in trouble. Keep the comments coming if you like. I am a very nervous mother, and, yes, I need to let her go. But encouragement helps me make decisions. Hub is on daughter's side :) [/QUOTE]
