And of course, there's always the possibility of financial aid, which we hope to find out about this spring.<br /><br />Jenn, YES! It does make me crazy! I've hated seeing my coworkers for years drop everything because of random days off for no apparent reason. (Is it me, or are there more random days off than when we were kids-and HAD a parent at home?) <br /><br />I'm not thinking we'll be having chickens or a goat, in the city, but you never know about whether they can do a garden...Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915194141694632310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780979693195745238.post-56380076153230077472010-03-04T20:23:51.358-05:002010-03-04T20:23:51.358-05:00Doesn't it make you crazy how so much of our s...Doesn't it make you crazy how so much of our society is shaped around the assumption that one parent is at home all the time and is fee to just drop everything based on whatever the kid's schedule demands? (which is to say, what the school system demands.)<br /><br />We were in a similar boat last year with our daughter, and ended up going the same route. (And she's in a school that has chickens and a goat which the children help take care of, and waste free lunches, and it's just amazing.)<br /><br />Isn't it amazing how huge they get, how quickly?

I know you were worried about this the last time we scrapped together. And when you do factor in those higher test scores and reinforced values, I don't think you can go wrong with your decision. So pat yourself on the back for putting your little kindergartner's (!) -- and the environment's and your car's and your sanity at lunchtime -- well being in perspective and going the private route. Sounds like you've made a great choice!Coriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274552926154174877noreply@blogger.com
