Schools

Education is clearly important to Justin and me. We want our boys to get the best education possible. But can I share how scary the NYC process is?

We just finished up the preschool process for Jack for next year. He's going to be attending The Day School at Christ & St. Stephen's. The commute is a bit longer (~30 ft), but I think it will be worth it.

With that decision done, we're already starting the process for Kindergarten - what are our options (private, public, magnet, gifted & talented), what is the process to apply (yep, even for the public elementary school that we are zoned for that is two blocks away on our street), what tests Jack may need to take (yikes!) and maybe, just maybe what to expect.

My head is spinning. I've definitely spent far more time on Jack's preschool than I did applying for college. One very important thing I've learned already is to go with my gut. We'll keep you posted as the school drama continues!

(updated to correct my grammatical errors!)

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
