Public schools started here this week. It made me realize that we have 4 more years before Luke goes to kindergarten, and 4 years to figure out where we want him to go to school.
I’m not sure how the local schools are here since we’ve only lived here for a few years. I grew up in a very small town with no choices. You went to the only public school and that was that! Things were much simpler back then though (I sound old!). There weren’t as many scary things going on. My elementary classes were very small and everyone knew everyone else. The downside to that was that there weren’t many opportunities for us growing up. We lived in a little bubble.
I want Luke to have every opportunity I didn’t have. I’m not sure if that means I’m ok with sending him to a big public school, or if I need to pay out the butt to send him to a private school to make sure he is safe and gets a great education. I also hope that he is able to catch up to the other kids his age by then, so he doesn’t get picked on. See, more mommy worries to come!
