Jamesgoshen4 and Scott: Thanks for your replys. I appreciate the advice. I was less than clear…My boys are not struggling with grades, they are average students, they struggle with all the pressures placed on teenagers in the US. I thought that perhaps in CR, life would be a little less hectic for them and perhaps their world would be a slower-paced, kinder gentler experience. Although Carson City Nevada is the state capital, it is not what I would call a big city experience. Not much crime, but the pressures put on kids to “succeed” is tremendous all over the USA. I am worried that they never have a chance to be kids and this must certainly affect the type of people they will grow up to be.
Moving to CR is not supposed to be a punishment for the boys, but perhaps a chance to experience contentment. I was looking to place them in English-speaking school. Are these schools snobbish? I suppose what I am really asking is will they be accepted both socially and academically?
I was intrigued about the possibility of bringing the schools academic level down. That point seems to speak volumes to me.
