I was with whoever said that if your kids are happy where they are why change. But if you think your jobs are in jeopardy and you may have to leave US it may make sense to look into BS option as alternative to leaving US. I do think if your child is not very independent and ready to go you want one of the smaller more supportive schools. Don’t get sucked into the big name schools that are more likely to operate like college with more or less sink or swim attitude for the kids. In that scenario, you really need to be independent and able to advocate for yourself as well as being very much on top of your work, or else you have to be one of the students who still get all the support at home either because they are day students, local boarders whose parents are on campus every week, or just connected parents who have BS staff on speed dial. If you are not in any of these categories you really have to adjust and learn quick or you will struggle mightily. Even then, quite a few kids manage to rise to occasion, but it is far from ideal scenario as it can take quite a while.
