<p>We live in the Midwest and the number one response is always “what did he do wrong?”. After you get done explaining that he did nothing wrong and that it’s a great opportunity then they ask, “aren’t you going to miss him?”. </p>
<p>I also know that there are some people in our very small community that believe we think we are better than them and the public school is not good enough for our kids. Which could not be further from the truth. The public school here is great for very driven kids, which my eldest is not. He needed the extra push and structure that BS has given him. Plus the extra breadth of classes and sports has been wonderful for him.</p>
<p>My middle child would have excelled in our public school because nothing less than the highest grade is good enough for him. I am sending him to BS not because he needs something from them but because he is dying to go and will love every minute of it. It’s a totally different scenario than the eldest.</p>
<p>The youngest is still of the “no way” mind set, which is just fine by me!</p>
