All I remember is that there is a picture of my mom holding me and i'm wearing a graduation cap crying my eyes out on the last day of school. I think I was sad that i'd be leaving all my friends. And I had a really cute polka dot dress on. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with the interview!Julie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875635439264990221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-71234630595545289472009-01-23T07:29:00.000-05:002009-01-23T07:29:00.000-05:00Misses- You said it!TG- Thats's it, I'm moving ove...Misses- You said it!<BR/>TG- Thats's it, I'm moving over to you, your school sounds amazing!!!<BR/>Lady Finger- pro/con coming soon<BR/>GI- I completely agree with you on the education front, I just wish I wasn't left feeling like things would be different if I had a beacon hill address or if my husband played for the soxs<BR/>lunarossa- I wish it could be that easy....the problem is ALL schools are like this here, not just the fancy ones.

I don't you should have to pay to send your child to nursery two half days a week. It's all about getting him to socialize with other children not to get the Nobel Prize for Science. All this hype about public and prive school is all too much for me. I discovered this when I moved to the UK and sincerely I do not approve. Schools should be a safe and educational environment for all children regardless their parents' bank account. But I can understand you want the best for your "bundle of joy" and if you think that your chosen school is the right one, I wish you all the best. Ciao.

Now a days alot of nursery schools claim to be something they are not... and all they are are glorified babysitters. <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong public schools are great for kindergarten (if you are in the right district)... but i'm all for private nursery schools. They go above and beyond to provide a child with the activities they need to develop.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about the interview i'm sure you will do just fine you are such a caring mom!

She has been at the same place (but was first off in the nursery wing) since just before a year old as I was working part time then. There is no application process, just a waiting list and we got on it when I was three months pregnant! I imagine its longer now as they have continual outstanding ratings on their ofstead reports (education body). They also have a pony, two sheep, a parrot and the kids grow their own vegtables etc so it is an amazing place for her. The results are showing already so I can totally understand your angst at tihis time! Good luck my ovely YM and may your little man prevail! xx p.s. Small Child saw his picture this morning on your blog and asked who he was, then said he was sweet!TheOnlineStylisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993875451086499475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-40156479774237419512009-01-22T14:44:00.000-05:002009-01-22T14:44:00.000-05:00I was a product of public school too... And I act...I was a product of public school too... And I actually never went to preschool.. Not sure why. But today, kids definitely gotta go... And I agree with you... It's a lot of hoop-jumping for something that is more or less expected from the school system these days...<BR/><BR/>They expect the kids to go to preschool and do all these programs... Yet, they make it so hard for parents to get their kids into these programs.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114958441995834155noreply@blogger.com
