Lazy- There is no shame in changing schools or moving from Private to state if that’s what you need to do. Let’s face it, 90% of the kids in this country go to state schools, and they perform excellently if the child is willing and supported at home.
I’ve had kids in both private and state and I’m the 1st to admit private is not necessarily all it’s cracked up to be- so if you don’t like it Lazy, just swap to a perfectly good state school?!!!! No-one actually cares!
If Esme didn’t thrive in her private school (1st tine I’ve heard that from them
) where she probably benefitted from very small classes and lots of support, then maybe there are other underlying issues to look at? Like the pressure of her weird, out of school performing activities?
They have gone on the run, in a pandemic, with no schooling, rather then lose face by just swapping schools
. Admitting that you want to save money is not a crime... just fess up you foos!!
