<p>katwkittens,
Your S must have made quite an impression in your community in a short time, to put it mildly! While it sounds humorous at first blush, I think it is too bad that his school is "taking a poll." Sounds like the last thing he needs is outside pressure. I hope that he can find it within himself to do what's best for him, and pick the place where he is most comfortable. Congratulations to him and to your family. He has such wonderful choices.</p>
<p>Two choices still for my kid--he doesn't seem to be agonizing, but I am.</p>
