Second thoughts

We're beset with second thoughts right now.... especially about the children, and moving them from Montessori to the public system. Granted, it will save us on the order of ten thousand dollars a year in fees: and granted, we are big believers in supporting public education: but we're worrying whether it is going to work.

Boo is not helping -- not that that is her role here -- by being sad to the point of tearful at the thought of leaving her current school, of not seeing her teacher again (though LOML and I think we may invite her over to dinner at some point). Until a few weeks ago, Boo had been excited at the prospect of going to the local school: and it may well work out wonderfully: but her newfound resistance is going to make it harder.

Yours, hopeful still, but nervous,
N.
