Well, I am forcing Jessica to change schools. I am a terrible mother. There were many MANY reasons, and I won’t list them all here. What forced the issue was the fact that on many days, she spent well over 4 hours a day on the bus. One day she was on the bus for nearly 6 hours! That is just too much. And when you put that with the other many issues, it just wasn’t worth it to stay there. So this is where she is going to be going. It looks like a fine school and it will allow her to participate in many things that her charter school doesn’t have, like sports, driver’s ed (my insurance is jumping for joy) and dances. Also since it is close by, she should make many friends that live in the area. Right now, all of her friends live pretty far away. She is understandably upset about leaving the school that she loves and her friends, but I think that she understands the reasonings, and a part of her is looking forward to the adventures that lie ahead. I will keep you all posted as how things go. We are going to go enroll early next week and hopefully she will start the following week.
