I think . . . mind you, I say think . . . we know which will be Dmtiry's 2005-2006 l'école de l'année.
A charter school called Eagle Academy.
It's one of a chain, with a computer-based curriculum, mostly
work-at-your-own pace except for math and English, which are
classroom-based. It only has about 150 students, so isn't big
enough to overwhelm him, but large enough he might find a friend or
two. ESL is offered, as well, along with tutoring.Dmitry's pleased because of the school hours: 8:00 - 1:30. Just like it would have been in Russia!
We've got an appointment Monday morning at 11:00.

Sounds great!!! Keep us informed!! Schools are so difficult! I guess because teens are so difficult. Also young kids and middle kids, and parents, hmmmm, I think I see a pattern. Drat. Sort of like teaching them to swim , toss in and they'll learn or else they are a witch, no, have my old wive's tales mixed up. Hmmm. Think I'll just fold my tent and sleep in the open. Or whatever.
Oh, I hope this works for you. It sounds terrific, especially the "work at your own pace" part. Sounds like he had mucho mondo "freedom" in Russia, and the stricter, more scheduled school days may have been a frustration for him. This truncated day might be just the ticket!
