Thank you for sharing. I woke up this morning remembering what the alternative is for my son and my family. Even as a day student, a 14 year-old in our community “leaves” as the peer culture starts to become of greater importance which is a natural progression. The academic and social pressures in our community would not in my opinion offer my son what he deserves as an intelligent, kind, wholesome, bright-eyed young man. I will however think closely about whether finding a school that allows us to see his games and performances would be possible. That could be nice for him and for us . . . I won’t focus on that however until 2017 when he can choose from the schools that chose him. It makes no sense to obsess over that now when he doesn’t know what his options will be!
