She has a chance to transfer to a new school for 11th grade this fall away from home (she can live at the school).
She's pretty, confident, sweet, NOT weird. Has few friends except a few at school she never sees on weekends as reads novels ALL THE TIME. Reads from time arrives home until 10:30 pm when she starts her homework. All weekend she reads. Has A's and B's. But she is LAZY. Won't do her one chore (emptying dishwasher) unless reminded several times. Out of shape. Says she likes to read & that's why she reads all the time
The old school has an AWESOME marching band of 300 kids and my girl would be in top band this fall, and they play like a town orchestra--gorgeous. New school has 18 kids in band. She joined a few clubs 2 months ago, kinda late.
I just want my kid to get a work ethic and socialize and stop reading. I'm always reading too & not involved after I get home, so the example at home is to just read all the time.
Should my kid go away to school?
