Well. It was fine. That's all I can say.
Ana would be fine, and would do fine, and we'd all be fine with them being educated there.
Diverse. Happy teachers, and kids. Not particularly notable work, or philosophy or approach or appearance. Friendly principal who I liked quite a bit. Smart kids, reciting smart-kid things, even in preschool. Which made me wonder where the play was? It felt more like "watered-down kindergarten" than a program with a developmentally appropriate vision. The teacher in there, though, had a smile that could move mountains. And the kids were so proud to read their sight words, and spell their colors for me. It was fine.
But certainly not the quick-free-fix to my education woes. I was waiting for some magic, but wonder if you have to pay for that in this town.
And so unless ISL is the magic bullet, we're left with the paid-for possibilities...parochial schools, ISAS schools...
I'm kind of disappointed that my worries didn't disappear with the tour. But that probably wasn't a fair assumption.

I don't know if the pay option will quell your concerns either, but I am waiting to hear. Sorry, but I think I am a bit jaded on the educational front and have left those high hopes long ago, but I suppose having kids rather than just a job makes it trickier.
Love that you all are watching home movies tonight...hope there was popcorn.
Thanks for the dinner tip...maybe I'll have to sample it at 108. ;-)
Don't say that! I need to believe that Lusher and ISL *work*. And that kids can get into them. Paying for school seems so odd to me...!
Emmy, maybe you need to be a school principle. Would that solve our problems?
