Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Trish, My daughter Darby is graduating from e next month, 32 days to be exact but who's counting. Darby has gone there for the past 4 years and my school district has paid. I live in Massachusetts but they have plenty of out of state (and country) kids. I am overwhelmed with her transition to high school, but I can tell you that sending her to e was the best decission I have ever made. When she started there at age 11 she was angry, frustrated, lacked self-esteem and was failing in school, four years later she is a happy, self-confident adolescent. The academic gains she has made are astounding and she has the ability to realize the areas she still needs to work in. While high school will be an adjustment for her I know she has the skills needed and the ability to self-advocate. Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Thank, Sharon, I am going there tomorrow morning and I can't waitr to see it. I do fear that Bobby is not " deaf enough " , because that is what everyone keeps saying. I am hoping e has a different attitude and a place where he would fit in. But I haven't heard one thing that wasn't positive about it yet. Thanks for replying!
