[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 262698, member: 3184"] Actually he has been to the open house the school had, listened to the presentation they did at his school, so he has had exposure to it. They are having a new student day on June 2nd, and he will go to that I am just not sure if will go. I am afraid that if I go he will be comfortabl enough to make rude comments (his favorite is that's gay--really does not go over well). His problem with the school is that his one friend is not going there. I understand that it is amazing that he now has a friend, but difficult child would do horrible at a large middle school. He is so unorganized he would be late to all his classes, and I am afraid that when he got in a fight or did who knows what that the police would get involved. This school has about 66 students in grades 6-8, only 23 in 6th grade, and that alone would lead to a better outcome for difficult child. It is more interactive learning, and has some social aspects built into the school. They talk about the culture of caring, about the community of the school. I am not going to tell him untill he is more stable, and I think he is headed that way. The last few days have been increasingly better, so crossing fingers. I do have to tell him before all the 5th graders tour their prospective middle schools, because he would go to the home school and not the charter school. I think I need to wait to hear from therapist and psychiatrist (I emailed them both) and then go talk to the charter school people. I am sure (or at least I hope) that they have dealt with this before. On the application,even though admission is by lottery, they have a page for the student to fill out. There was a question where they want to know whey the student wants to go to that school. difficult child put that he did not want to go. And still got in. I am better this morning, I am building up my armor. I was just so shocked that he actually made it in. [/QUOTE]
