[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 585663, member: 14557"] Those are some of the good points of small schools. Another is that your child is seen as a whole person all the time and all adults know every kid. And kids have to learn to come along with very different kids, you can't just choose friends like yourself. Bad points are that if it's get bad, it can get really bad. And if you don't have friends, you really don't have them. And if you are bullied my your classmates, you can't change class or hang with other kids. And if school is small enough to have several different grades taught in same class room, it also means that kids are required to work independently and quietly more. That can be a good thing, if you have a easy child kid, but for certain type of difficult children it is really hard. As you probably already guessed, my kids went to small school for elementary years. It was awesome for easy child but I think you know how it turned out for difficult child. I have also myself spent a year in very small school as a kid and for an outsider it was rather tough (it was also a small village and we really were outsiders there.) Maybe trying to find small alternative school near enough of bigger city could give you both the possibility for small school experience and also the plan B, if it doesn't work out? [/QUOTE]
