Last night, D and I went through all of your responses and she was so happy to hear what you all had to say. She liked your correction @MinnesotaDadof3 , “wow there are real people on here and they are giving great input for Me!”
@annaliese67 Thank you. I feel like you just took me on a little tour just now. All of that was exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to share that too.
D really likes aspects of MAC and she really likes Carleton. She has had a lot of ‘Hey, you guys are smart, you’ll figure this stuff out on your own’ teachers in high school which has made her tough and very resourceful, but has not served her well when it came to her writing skills. No feedback, except for grades has been a painful journey. Carleton’s rep for excellent teaching appeals greatly…like the answer to a prayer maybe. We are talking a lot right now about strategies for college success and how to build those in from the start. I think at either place she will be challenged…a lot, just maybe in slightly different ways.
As for the cold…LOL…if D can hack life at above the Polar Circle next winter, I think she’ll do OK in Minnesota. But if she hates it, I guess we’ll be going back to the drawing board on this whole thing. UT might start looking a whole lot better. Right now she just can’t wait to escape her Covid confinement and flee this house, the State of Texas, and yes, the whole USA. We’ll see.
Thanks all!
