I had the same experience. My daughter texted me 14 times a day and I called the school and said shouldn’t they limit her access to technology and help her integrate. They said they don’t regulate that kind of thing; it’s up to the kids to learn coping mechanisms on their own. My husband wouldn’t allow me to pick her up from school and said that she can transfer (back home) if she is still unhappy at spring break. The BS spring break dates were different from her previous school, so when she came home, she attended her old school. After that experience she said, “it’s no use, it’s a double edged sword. I don’t want to go back to BS but I’ve outgrown my old school.” By the end of the year, she decided to stay with BS and by August she was really looking forward to seeing all her friends, decorating her room and new classes. (She’s a junior in college now, and that transition was a breeze.)
