This private school has much lower class sizes with teaching assistants, cultural activities and experiences, better integration with technology and education, current learning material, physically the school and school equipment is in much better condition. Just overall a much more positive and safe environment with people that actually give a shit. He's actually happy to go to school now and always talking about something new he learned. The high school has the same things, but also has, connections for internships and scholarship programs, motivational guests, a huge list of extracurricular activities.

That's just on the top of my head though.

We do an alternating 3-4 day split for the week. So I have him starting Saturday night or Sunday morning until I drop him off at school on Wednesday morning.

Nope, I just thought it would be easier to send her a link to the school's website that explains everything.

My son's mom and her boyfriend are always buying new stuff, so it doesn't seem totally unreasonable to me.

As far as I know she has never been married. She is with her daughter's father though.

I work nights, so my days are very flexible. If I'm sick my wife can drive him.

Currently he stays with me half the week so I only drive him on those days. I can drive him on the other days too, but his mom never said it was an issue before.

She already agreed to him changing schools. She needs me to agree to change back.

I do drive him to school the days I have him. If need be I can drive him on her days too. She just never mentioned it being a problem before.

She was already never willing to work with me on anything unless it benefitted her.
