Do you think it is a good idea to move so my daughter can go to a better high school?

The schools in my neighborhood are good. The elementry school is a California Distinguished School and has good test scores.  The Jr. High is ok. The high school is a top notch school. They have won science and academic awards. I am planning to send my child to them.  I am a teacher in a neighboring district.

Well i guess you already have your answer, NO.  Sorry if it isn't the answer that you wanted.  Your parents have reasons for what they do, and I am sure they have good reasons for not changing your school.

Make sure you can get into the school before you actually go to the trouble and expense of moving there.\n\nI hope you are also a good wrestler.

Yes, it's fine. \n\nIf the school is full though, you might be on the waiting list. However, most people would advise you not to move during the school year, as your classes and knowledge will differ and difficult to adjust to classes. Friends and people are not so much a problem if you have no trouble adjusting to new people. \n\nIf you are transferring somewhere between 11-12 grade, I advise you NOT to do it. 11-12 grade, especially if you are doing IB, is a very important time in school. \n\nHope I helped!

Where I work, we call a moving class a "looping team".  I work in a 7-8 building and we keep kids from one year to the next.  This is a great thing to do, as it builds relationships, and saves a great deal of time in the fall of the second year.  There are issues that can arise, especially if teachers and/or parents and/or students have personality conflicts, but on the whole, I've liked doing it.  I feel I know my students and their families better and as they grow and I learn more about their learning styles and needs, I can cater to that and be a better teacher for them.  Worst case scenario: You get a rough bunch of kids and know you're stuck for the next two years :)

~~Technically if you home school your children you could bounce between the two places any time you wanted to, however it is very hard on children to be uprooted often like that.  Staying in one place will give your children more of a secure feeling.  The other thing you need to consider when living in two places, can you afford upkeep on two places?  Good luck to you and your family making this decission.~~

Depends on many things. Where you live there, your live style etc... But be careful. You can be a good parent any where by setting a good example.

Although I feel for your situation, please understand, not all schools will allow you to just switch.  There are many more details to consider. Like tuition affordability, the ranking of the new desired schools educational records of success, and the convieniece of transporting you to and from the new school just to mention a few.\n\nMy children had to switch schools once, and they hated it, they wanted to move back to their old school, but a few years later they are adjusted and happy where they are.\n\nIf you are feeling badly at your current school due to harrasment by other students, stand up for yourself, speak with your principal, councelor, or call the state hotline of you are being physically threatened, they will investigate.\n\nTalk to your parents about what makes this school so bad, and try to resolve your issues, they may see your point if you address it in a responsible and mature way.

Only you can gauge if you are moving too fast.  If you love eachother and are going to get married it might be good to be close to one another.  I don't know that I would recommend moving into a house with another couple/child as it might make things difficult/complicate things.  \nAs far as the finances go with you and/or him still being in school that is understandable and doesn't mean that he won't be a good husband and support you.

I would suggest that you let her remain in public schools, mostly because she is already shy, home schooling will just withdraw her from more social interaction.  You have two options, let your daughter know that everyone goes thru phases and that she should ignore the "bullies" and focus on her school work and friends in which case the bullies will either give up because they know it doesnt bother her anymore or hopefuly they will grow up.  your other option would be to see if you area has another local school that has open enrollment that would alow her to change school districts and give her a fresh start.

As an adult in my forties, I regret that I didn't go to any of my high school functions so, I would tell you to go to your high school bonfire so you have no regrets later.  High school is a fun filled time in your life and you should take advantage of your ability to share experiences with your classmates before you go your separate ways once you graduate.  I encourage my son to participate in school activities while he has the chance because soon he will be an adult with responsibilities and obligations.  Go and have fun!!
