I'm pre...I'm not just thinking about it ... I'm pretty sure I've talked myself into it! The logistics of getting him to and from school would be even worse next year, since it's 5 days a week and he'd have to be there right at the time when one of the boys shows up at the house. I'd also have to put him in the front seat, with 3 kids in the back, which is -strictly speaking- legal (I called the police and had a conversation with the carseat-program officer), but not recommended at all. We'd have to disable the airbag b/c it could kill him in a minor fender-bender. And I truly don't know that I can do a safe drop-off, pick-up with 4 kids, crossing streets, in winter, sleet and snow. It would be a nightmare. I originally thought the district offered transportation for Pre-K, but that was another let down in my many district office phone calls! Every day I'm more and more certain I'll keep him home next year, to the point where I'm not sure I'll even show up for pre-K sign up. It's next Tuesday and I've arranged nothing in terms of childcare for the other kids.<br /><br />Hey, if Katherine is a former preschool drop-out and now a budding scientist, I'd say we're in good company!LazyBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076700682212137753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799225044213247595.post-90140502271026574072012-03-22T19:44:46.825-04:002012-03-22T19:44:46.825-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.LazyBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076700682212137753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799225044213247595.post-43139714712554820432012-03-22T16:59:12.179-04:002012-03-22T16:59:12.179-04:00That's some impressive reasoning for a three-y...That's some impressive reasoning for a three-year-old! I think it's good that you gave him a choice and didn't force the issue, but maybe that's because I'm a preschool drop-out too. (And so is Katherine.) (And Penelope hasn't even tried preschool yet even though she's almost four-years-old, so what does that say about us?) Seriously though, it sounds like you made a good choice for your son, and for all the right reasons.<br /><br />Are you still thinking about homeschooling next year?Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644613647401437326noreply@blogger.com
