I have the option for putting S in a program here for 5 days a week but at half a day. I have heard great things about this school and program. So before you make a rash decision, as some moms in your ward to see if they have utilized the headstart there. Andrew may like it. Pray about it and do some more research. Good luck!melancholyjunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534522867563553617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115241081144197650.post-82292563482233016992008-08-27T08:47:00.000-07:002008-08-27T08:47:00.000-07:00Here are my thoughts...I know that I feel the same...Here are my thoughts...I know that I feel the same way. The elementary school in our district is not a good school, both in its educational plan and the students that attend. I have the question/problem too...Do I want to keep my child in a bubble and protect them from the world, or is it good for them. Well I think that what matters is the educational program. If it is a good program and you think that Andrew will learn and benefit from being in the classes, I would still send him. Also it doesn't hurt to try, if you don't get good vibes from the school and how he is reacting to it, take him out. Hope this helps!Team Draughonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287513719808178642noreply@blogger.com
