Our girl starts school today.
She’s excited, especially after we bought a bunch of juice boxes for her lunch.
On the other hand, my wife and I had a rough go of it.
She has been attending pre-school / daycare for the past couple years, both for half and full days. So this isn’t new to us, and yet it feels like a big change.
In the past we’ve been customer in charge of the situation, and we’ve pulled her out of a couple places where it was not working great.
But in starting school, especially in this era of school choice, we’ve put our faith in this particular system for the next year to treat and teach our daughter right. That’s a scary leap.
No one told us letting the girl into the wider world would be this nerve wracking.
