, I completely understand the guilt you might be feeling over the public/private school debate. The truth is that every school district is different and every kid is different, and this decision is yours to make.How do you help a kiddo get over a big disappointment? Recently, my child tried out for a team they have always made in the past, and this year somehow all their friends made it, but they didn’t. I was at the tryouts, and I thought they did really well.
But kid didn’t make it in this year, and five of their friends did—this was after “putting in the work” of doing the suggested camps and extra fundraising the organization asks for.I’m pretty thrown myself, in a way I never have been before. When this child has tried other activities/programs and not made it in, I didn’t care either way, or I felt the result was fair. This time, I feel like something went wrong or that the results are unfair.
