thanks to all the mamas who responded to my male in-home child care provider question. i actually was thinking about pitching that to punkpapa and of course wanted some hipmama backup, which i got. you rock.
now, i am looking at two charter schools for vincent. they are both ethnically and economically diverse and non-mainstream, very reflective of our neghborhood. one is montessori. these are my main criteria...the diversity and the montessori curriculum. both i am sure are on a vast waiting list.
so i just emailed both schools for more info, and to see what i need to do to get vincent on those lists.
any mamas here go the charter school route? our public school is out of the question, unfortunately, it is just poorly rated and not what i want. so charter is next on the list cause private is also out of the question, financially, and again, i don't want him in that homogenized culture. i don't think i need to say that parochial school isn't happening either. but i will anyway. parochial school ain't happenin'.
advice? stories? input? if you knew the angst i was putting myself through...i always thought i would unschool. but i love my career and we need two incomes, or at least one and a half. punkpapa is less than a year away from his teaching certificate too, so he could start to pursue teaching in one of these schools as well...
help!! thanks!
