As a teacher ...I think you made the right decision. As a teacher at a charter school, I see kids switching schools a lot, but if the parents are doing it for the right reasons (life situations) and not just to get away from a teacher or administrator, it usually works out great. I have a charter school 4 blocks from my house, but the one that I teach at 15-20 min. away has better scores, a better demographic and more involved parents...therefore I am taking Jay to my school next year when he is ready for Kindergarten. I guess as a teacher I also feel I want him with me. I commend you for sending her to PC to try it out. I'm sure my parents would love my kids to go to Christian schools, but this is going to be what is best for us. That was a long bus ride...without seeing her. Let her be in sports and go to school where you can pick her up quickly when she is sick. AND...have fun being a stay-at-home mom!!!!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08143579466018540371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295470563769444878.post-19034353245364650262014-08-22T09:13:31.266-05:002014-08-22T09:13:31.266-05:00Ohhh Sarah....First of all, Second grade!!! When ...Ohhh Sarah....First of all, Second grade!!! When did that happen? I remember when you announced that you were pregnant with her. It seems like just yesterday!! Second..all the pictures of Delaware...man I miss you guys!! I am right with you on the whole education/school thing. Maybe it is the teacher in us. As I am starting to think about going back to teaching, I am having a hard time trying to decide if I want to teach in the same district as my kids. Especially since it is such a small one. There are many pros, but I also know me and that I will be all over my kids when I see them doing something they aren't suppose to be doing. Whether it be in the halls, at lunch, on the playground, etc. They will be like "Mom, leave me alone!!" :) We also looked into the Christian school in Indianola. We love Interstate, but just wanted the christian impact in their education as well. Unfortunately there is no busing, so that would mean 60 minute drives- round trip- twice a day. Not sure I want to do that in the middle of January. I also hear you about being on the bus for so long. My kids use to get picked up at 6:50 in the morning and then would get back home around 4. Praise JESUS..they changed the bus routes this year and now the kids don't have to get on the bus until 7:37 and are usually home by 3:40. I was so excited to find this out this year since Kennedy is starting preschool and I was NOT looking forward to getting her up that early every morning. She is my sleeper...like doesn't usually get up until around 9!! :) So still getting her up and ready be 7:37 hasn't been fun, but at least it is way better than 6:50!! We need to get everyone together for lunch sometime soon!! Hope she has a great year!! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
