School

Here we are at the crux of deciding for a school for the boys again. Word to the wise FIGURE OUT WHERE YOUR KID IS GOING TO GO TO SCHOOL NOW while they are still young. As a seventeen year old with a kid it never crossed my mind that I would need to figure where he would be attending school in five years when I was 23. So I've been flying by the seat of my pants ever since. Fortunately I have come to my own personal theory and conclusion that people who moved around a lot as kids are better adjusted adults. Case in point: me. I never moved around. I went from the same school, the same two teachers through all the grades for six years. Then I went straight to homeschool and besides a few brief testing periods at another school that was all I knew. I live in the same house from almost as far back as I can remember until I was 16 and moved out for a few months before moving back home when I discovered I was pregnant. I have a HORRIBLE time adjusting to change. Breakdown, meltdown, panic attack time. In admitting that to myself I am hoping that I am ironically doing my children a favor by moving them around and having (almost) private panic attacks every time I do. Maybe one day they'll adjust easily to change while I clearly do not.
