I am a mommy of 2 also and I live in the Ohio area.

I AM A MOTHER OF FOUR LIVING IN THE DAYTON AREA, MY CHILDREN ARE IN AGES RANGING FROM 13 TO 4. WELL MY OLDER TWO BOYS HAVE THE SAME FATHER,AND THEY GO TO HIS HOUSE IN CENTERVILLE EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. WELL NOW FOR THE PAST MONTH OR TWO, MY 10 YEAR OLD SON, WHO IS IN THE FIFTH GRADE, HAS DECIDED THAT HE WANTS TO GO LIVE WITH HIS DAD. I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SLEEP BECAUSE ALL I CAN DO IS CRY. I DON'T WANT TO LET HIM GO. HE IS A STRAIGHT A STUDENT AND HE THINKS DAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLING IS BENEATH HIM. I DON'T KNOW IF HIS DAD OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS BEEN PUTTING THE RICHINESS OF LIVING IN CENTERVILLE IN HIS HEAD, OR WHATS GOING ON. WE HAVE A GOOD LIFE HERE, AND HE RARELY GETS IN TROUBLE. HE SAID HE WANTS TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE BY GOING TO CENTERVILLE SCHOOLS, SO HE CAN MAKE SOMETHING OF HIS LIFE. GIVE ME SOME ADVICE PLEASE HELP!!!

I am a mom of 2 girls that are 3 and 6 from Dayton

Wow, I was suprised to see all of these Dayton moms. Cool!! I am a mother of 3, my oldest boy will be 7 in a couple weeks, my daughter will be 5 next week and my youngest will be 4 in June.

Well, to the mom with the Centerville dilemna - you will not be losing your son but I believe that you need to support his decision. Centerville schools are much better than Dayton Public and he will most likely get a better education. Changing schools is a hard decision and as long as he knows all of the pros and cons of this move, then I say support his decision. Make sure you have a clear and open discussion with him, his father and the expectations of everything and every scenario.

If you want more proof, go to each of the school's websites and they will have links to their state report cards that will show how they measure up. You may want to show your son these and do a pros/cons list with him. One of the best things you can do for your son is to give him an opportunity to get a great education and now is the time to show him that you love and support him and make the decision together as a family. Good Luck!! Heather from Beavercreek.
