[QUOTE="Fran, post: 254295, member: 3"] Terry, it always helped if I put a positive spin on things. Let difficult child know the positives of this school and why you think it would be a good fit. Tell difficult child this gives him a chance for a fresh start if he can do well on the tests. I stay away from ever making changes look like punishment or something [I]I'm doing to him[/I]. It should be something that you are doing with him to improve the quality of his life. Having said that, I haven't had good luck with private schools of any sort. They have the right to kick you out. Sorry, what I meant was asked to not return. difficult child didn't get a great education from either venue but he had more options in public and they didn't kick him out. Fortunately on pure information difficult child knows more than most hs graduates because of his thirst for knowledge but the basics are lost. Math, grammar, spelling, basic sciences would have to be retaught. It's unfortunate but that's what he got from his swiss cheese learning style. [/QUOTE]
