Well we are still waiting. I figured we would hear something by now, but we haven't. *sigh* Sometimes I don't think I know how to function when NOTHING is going on :). I guess I shouldn't say NOTHING is going on. There have been a couple things, like, a surprise phone call from a teacher and our disappearing fish and the big decision on where to send my kids to school next year.. I just hate to bore everyone with every little detail of my life! A certain child of mine may not want me writing about the teacher phone call either !! I will tell you about the school decision because I would like to hear your opinions on that.
We recently filled applications out for Brendan and Allison in a charter school in Fort Worth. It is usually hard to get into and they have a waiting list. I mainly wanted to get Allison in because I haven't been happy with the middle school here. So, after the anticipated enrollment and lottery we find out Brendan got in. Allison is still #29 on the waiting list. :(
Academically, this school is EXCELLENT! BUT, 30-40% of the teachers are Turkish. I have absolutely NO problem with that, but I am concerned about the language barrier. I had a hard time understanding the man during orientation who is the math teacher for 8th grade. I don't want to switch the kids back and forth to schools. I think we may still be able to get Allison in by September but I am really nervous still. It is very regimined and strict but that beats the public school system at the moment. I have really mixed feelings and have to decide by next Thursday.. Please pray I can make the right decision :) If you have an opinion PLEASE let me know!
My Dream Come True!
