We are considering a move to Glasgow from the US and trying to find the right school for our daughter who is 14 and would be going into 9th grade in the US and S3 in Scotland.
Over here the schools have honors classes and regular, so the disruptive students take the regular classes. My daughter is very bright, gets straight A's. Are the state or private schools like this in Scotland?
She feels like she stands out because she is bright but is not nerdy. She is not really sporty (she figure skates on a synchronized skating team but will not continue if we move) and likes drama, music and dance.
Do smarter kids get picked on in state schools? My husband says when he was in school they did but that was a long time ago. We just want to find the right school where she can feel comfortable doing well in school. If she went to a state school it would probably be Hyndland or Hillhead.
