[blparent] private schooling

[PICKRELL, REBECCA M (TASC)]

Nicky. 
I realize you will do as you will, but did want to suggest that you have an activity that you do not pull your son out of because of bad behavior. For me, this was band, an activity that I loved and that my whole family was involved in. Band was not a privilege, it was something I was required to do. I absolutely loved it and learned a whole lot from it. I say this, because we all need activities we enjoy and I believe that those activities need to be activities that happen outside of school. 
I say this because you don't want your son to get the idea that he has no value and get in with the wrong crowd. Having something he enjoys that involve kids and adults he respects will do wonders for keeping him on the right path.  You don't want to take away the things and people he values because all humans need to feel like they matter. If you take away something he values, he will find another group and activity, one you probably won't be too happy with.

    Well, I contacted the school. Apparently too late because the deadline 
for financial aid was like the week that I contacted them.

He has his first soccor practice tomorrow. So, we'll see how it goes. We 
made a rule that if he doesn't come home with a good report, there will be 
no internet game playing, and he loves the game, and if the bad reports 
become steadily worse, then we take him out of soccor as well. He's excited 
about soccor.

Next week is the meeting with the counselor. So, private schooling has been 
temporarily put on hold.

You also need to figure out why private school would meet your son's needs. 
Does the school offer something that the public school does not?
Just because you pay doesn't mean you or your son will get something that 
bennifits him.

You need to contact the specific school in which you are interested.
