My DH and I are having such a big dilemma. We’ve found out today that our dd has got a place in year 9 at a school we would love her to go to. If we had got the place a year ago, we know our dd would have likely been happy to go there, but now she is more settled at her current school. However, we are not happy about the path she is taking. She has really dipped academically and seems to have no motivation to try her best. I’m also not overly keen on her friendship circle, which is probably clouding my judgement about what to do. What should we do? If we accept the place, I know she’ll be really upset and hate us for a while, but has anyone ever done this and their dd has eventually forgiven them and settled into their new school ok? She does have friends from primary at the new school.
