Decision Time

So it's decision time on schools and I still don't feel confident in making the right decision. My kid is a great kid, but she is a bit quirky (no surprise there) and shows hints that an extra year of pre-k might not be a bad idea. Or she could well be ready in a couple months, and we're just overly concerned parents. It's hard to know for sure. Should something like a teacher student ratio freak us out so much?

And if we do get her into k. Which school? It's good to have options, but the truth is that each place has it's pros and cons. You're never going to get everything you want. I guess this is like 90% of the other big choices in life. You've just got to make the best call you can for that particular moment and in the end pretend you knew exactly what you are doing.

It gets easier as a parent, right?

It's tough when you send your first off to school. You want to plan everything out for her, but there are only that many factors you can control because life is full of surprises. However, kids are amazingly resilient. Trust that you little one will take it in stride whatever school you choose to put her in. She will thrive as long as you and wifey has her back.
