As I posted last week, I was feeling disappointed after talking to the teacher at the Christian school. Today we went to the public school to observe the gifted class for about an hour. It was very cool and the teacher was awesome. She really knew how to deal with the kids and their sensitivities. The projects they were working on were really neat. I know Ethan would fit in perfectly and really blossom in her class. We then went to talk to the assistant principal and asked her about kindergarten in general. We left feeling like the school as a whole really knows how to nurture and teach gifted kids. I’ve been really torn since my meeting last week and my experience today didn’t help. If Ethan were an average kid, the Christian school we’ve chosen would fit our needs perfectly but since we’ve learned that he isn’t, it seems to change things a lot. I’m disappointed as it seems like we are leaning more toward placing him in public school for kindergarten and I believe I’m turning on my convictions. As George says, its just for kindergarten and we can easily switch him if it’s not working. We have until the end of the week to decide so we can get our hefty deposit back from the Christian school. We have cooresponded with the principal there today to discuss our concerns further and he is kind to offer to give us our money back. I’ve decided to just give it to the Lord, Ethan belongs to Him and He knows what is best for him. And sometimes what we assume is the best thing for our kids really isn’t.
