To move son back to old school?

[Chippednails]

My DD (11) is in year 6. For various reasons we moved her out of her primary at the end of the last school year to another local school. She has made some friends but it’s a very different school and she is really not happy there.

WIBU to move her back again for the rest of the school year? We moved due to concerns over the standard of teaching btw and while this isn’t totally resolved I wonder whether at this stage it really matters and her general happiness is more important. Or does it build resilience to help her find a way through the rest of the year?

She is very ready for secondary so I don’t really feel that the move in September will bring similar issues for various reasons.

They moved because the parents thought the first school was not good enough (very small so peer group problems), then back because the child was unhappy - so yes quite similar!

Like you they wondered if happiness trumped their other concerns.

My view is with children being real and honest is good for them. You tried something, you think it was a mistake - why throw good time after bad?

I think you need to take some time to really think about it and if its eat she wants and you can, then do it.

Don't make a snap decision. It might nit be exactly the same as it was when she left. Friendships a d dynamics may have changed a bit.

But don't jump into makinh another decision that turns out is the wrong one.

Sounds very similar to this thread.
Regardless, it sounds like you made the wrong decision when you moved her. The teaching won't have changed so if you do move her back, you need to accept that because moving her back and then complaining will not go down well nor will you be able to move her again.
