...I feel your pain. Though with less choices. :-)<br /><br />Is it possible to go with public school, work on moving somewhere closer and cheaper, and then moving him into the private school next year?<br /><br />GOOD LUCK... it's a hard hard choice!!coldspaghettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430398912977703893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430112182493224146.post-77875342555045378802010-07-14T06:38:46.665-07:002010-07-14T06:38:46.665-07:00I agree with LSM.

It's just a crime the gifted school is so ridiculously expensive. That's as much as I made in a year when I graduated from college, too. I've shelled out $10k a year for daycare but that doesn't mean it was easy to do (talk about juggling bills and robbing Peter to pay Paul!) or that I'd want to do it again but I think that's my limit. $18k is just too much money and it's really too bad. That just makes me cry.FreshHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051170717740487431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430112182493224146.post-54619349386503876392010-07-13T15:54:00.415-07:002010-07-13T15:54:00.415-07:00Thanks for the link to the creativity article.

S. and China. <br /><br />From what I've read on your blog over the last few months, I have to say I think the Catholic school might be your best choice for next year. Perhaps a direct move there without skipping a grade so that you can get used to the system and see how it meets AJ's needs would be a good option. Once he is there, you can advocate for a grade skip if necessary when the school is familiar with his abilities and needs.LSMhttp://somewhereinthesuburbs.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
