<p>My SO is the emotionally charged one in the process. I find managing that, much more tenuous then managing my child’s expectations. My plan, for now, is to personally collect all decisions and look at them as a collective as a family as opposed to seeing them one by one. As we see through this thread, you really need to review it as a package. There are so many things that go into the process… if the grades are there, does your child have what the school is looking for this year?, how does the school’s concern toward yield play into the process, will your school counselor play a role in the process.</p>
