For the last couple of days Laura and I have been wrestling with the option of letting enough go to the ALL program at Cedar Ridge. He had provisional acceptance but his classroom behavior was enough to give us pause and when we talked to the principal it have her cause to be cautious. I’m convinced that it won’t be beneficial and might be detrimental for him to go to that more rigorous environment. Laura is afraid of him missing an opportunity.
I’m trying to dig into her reasoning and see if there is some way to feel like this is wise or for her to settle onto it being undesirable. A few times it seemed that she realized that it was a risky move. I feel confident that if I tell her I don’t want to do it she will feel like she want heard it that she capitulated. If that is the case she won’t feel good about the outcome unless he turns into the most thriving person she can imagine him to be.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if Laura will be happy with the process. Right now she is prepared to capitulate but I don’t know yet if she will be happy with that decision.
