First off let me say we've been in Texas almost exactly a full year and gymnastics is no joke down here
We just found out a spot opened up in a local charter school for my DD that would allow her to go to school 7:45-11:45 and gym every week day 12-5. Instead currently she has gym 4-8 4x a week and then 5hrs on Saturdays.
Pros, she would get way more family time, and we would get to eat dinner together. Cons, she would miss out on band and theater and other stuff like that.
Also, she's a 7th grade level 7. There's no elite aspirations here, and honestly college gym is probably a long shot. She is a strong level 7, has most of her 8 skills already.
She wants to give it a try, and I ultimately want it to be her decision. I'm just not sure if giving up normal school stuff is worth it??
Thoughts?
