Ok, she may be happy at the school she is at, but that may be because she doesn't know any better. My son was happy in the orphanage and grieved like heck having to leave it.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, as I beleive more in being a kid than in academics. I think that for 1st grade the homework is excessive. 4-5 pages of homework per night in 1 subject is outrageous. My son is in 3rd grade and only gets a few pages of homework 3 days a week. And he needs to study spelling words and various other subjects throughout the week. He is also to read 15 minutes each night. Our district is HUGE on reading.

I would feel out my child regarding a move. But, remember, she won't be moving for a few months, so don't get her to pumped up about changing schools if that is what you decide.
