Life skills over education?

Tweet

Hello fellow lotters, Yesterday my ex and I went to an orientation to a possible new school for our daughter. We both love what the school has to offer and had agreed that we would send her there if it can benefit her. The school has the wonderful concept in which the children are responsible for all of their own actions. They also are given a senior exit research project that requires them to make a webpage with active links,have a virtual portfolio and other things. The best purpose of this school is to allow children to be ready to work and enter the world with the experience to achieve what they want.If the child wants to attend college then they set them up to do so, but if a child would like to go work they teach them the knowledge to succeed. In order to graduate the child must also complete an internship which they set up for the child. It really is a wonderful opportunity.My problem is that the classes they do offer. My daughter will be entering her second year in high school and the classes they offer at the new school she has taken most of them. In her current school, she will be taking physics and pre-calc. If she were to transfer she will be taking bio or chem, which she passed with an A and a mix of geometry,algebra I and II, again in which she has taken and passed. I want her to stay at her current school, but I think my want comes to knowing she will continue to live with us at my home. If she transfers she will need to live with her father. I know that doing an internship and teaching life skills are beneficial, but so is education and challenging her.I have already spoken to the guidance counselor at the new school and she will not be able to take calculus or physics until her senior year.as you can see her dad wants her to transfer and I do not. We are both bias and any thoughts will be most appreciated. Thank You.
