I'm going to be a sixth grader and my middle school is going to have school choice. I'm not sure which ones yet but my parents want me to go to one of two.
One has high test scores, and my parents think it would be good for me to go there because I'm in Gifted Education. The thing is, I'm only in Gifted because I work really hard. It seems like all of the other kids can just fly by and get As, but I can't.
The other one has ok test scores, but I know a lot of girls my age from my softball team at this school. I'd rather go to this one because at the other school the girls I know from softball are 7th or 8th graders.
If neither of these schools are an option, I'd have to go to the middle school with all of my friends. I'll be honest, the school does not 'make the grade' or whatever you'd like to call it, and is in a very bad neighborhood.
I want to be able to go to school with my friends, but I can't figure out how to convince them.
What school do you think I should go to, and how do I convince my parents to let me go there?
Please help, I need answers fast.
