We're feeling it's been a big mistake sending our son to private school for 3 main reasons; he's not working very hard (seems to spend most of his waking hours on the Xbox if we let him and his exam results have been rubbish despite being reasonably intelligent), the school is 45m away so most of his friends are not local so he doesn't get to see them very often and also he seems to compare himself to all the rich boys in his year (we are not loaded at all), of which there are many. Would love advice from anyone who's contemplating the same thing or who has already moved their child. I threatened to do this last year and it frightened him into working a bit harder but it's all seems to have gone to pot again.
