Changed Reality

Schools will be a challenge -

He is such a smart kid - on our last visit, he asked us whether he could go to private school. I asked him why he wanted to do that; he said he thought that they would be fun, with more things to do.

When we moved here, the dismal state of the local schools was a theoretical issue - an annoyance for sure as it was a drag on property values....

But now, given the requirement that children who are in the state's care must attend public school, it is a very frustrating thing.

While we know that, when the adoption is finalized, we can make choices outside the public school system; that is going to take a few months.
