Logician – you are correct that it does not make sens,e but it is so. The boys are not problem kids but when put down and not supported for long periods they become despondent and give up alot. When that happens they get reprimanded for having poor attitudes and not trying harder. Lots of talk AT them, not much listening TO them. So then they are not just weaker, but more fragile or more vulnerable. Once they become more vulnerable you have to be VERY careful who is interacting with them on a daily basis. And if you send your son away, you have to have some kind of trust before it is earned that he will be listened to, even though it couldn’t be accomplished right there in his “local school”. So you are correct that there is more to it, but these are regular, weaker kids who will be fine in a positive, healthy environment, and can fall apart ch”v in a less healthy environment. My child’s lack of choices are more about our lack of comfort/trust in the choice of mosdos, and having few options for weak learners with strong hoshkofos.
