[QUOTE="Josie, post: 104091, member: 1792"] I would let your son have a lot of say in the decision. Not to say he gets the final choice. I would have him go with you on the tours, maybe after you have narrowed it down to the ones you think are acceptable. Maybe a school that produces a TV/radio show is a good fit for him. It will force him to work with other kids in a less structured setting than a classroom. My kids go to a small private school. There are 45 kids or less per grade. I had concerns about this because I thought their chances of clicking with someone were smaller. But this school is a "kind and gentle" place compared to the very well-regarded public school they used to go to. Socially, both of mine have done well there. My older one started in 3rd grade and seemed to blossom socially when she switched. I thought at the time it was because everyone was a little "geeky" (like her), so she fit in better. So your son picking a school that he is interested in will put him around other kids with similar interests. Maybe he will do better socially. [/QUOTE]
