Schools
Thu Apr 11 2002

We are looking into finding a private school for #1. Not any of the previous military boarding schools I have pondered. Something local. Something with VERY small classes, and despite what some people believe I think...NOT something with straight jackets.

I have found a few that look promising. They have positive, upbeat names like New Horizons, Hope, Imagination Education to mention a few. I had been expecting names such as Knuckle Ridge School for Incorrigible Boys, or Nurse Ratched's Day Treatment Center, perhaps even Sing-Sing Boys Academy.

Now to find financial aid for this.....

    I hope it works out, private school was the only thing that worked for my ex's kids.

    Big Hug,

    P.S. I'm impressed to hear you've done research on chicken entrails vs. astrology. Must've been fun! ;)

    wow on the coupon queen, have to admit that's inspiring
    as for kitty, she's doing well, she's a lot more active than what i was expecting, jumping up onto things etc, i cringe everytime she does it, hoping she's not going to pop her tummy open ;)
    she's been wandering about like a drunken sailor all evening, poor girl, it must be frustrating. she's fallen off the coffee table three times :-/
    by the looks of things though, it's wearing off
    thanks for asking

    Playing catch up...my dog is a golden retriever, I will check out the site you sent me, thank you! Re the junk mail entry from yesterday, I am with you on that one. And pop up ads! I have a pop up killer, but it doesn't work on all of them. The mail thing is starting to really make me angry. If they give you a way to get off their list, it often is a dead-end.

    Maybe ask the doctors if they know of a school.
    Private schools will kick him out too, and someplace that trys to be more strict is exactly the thing he will rebel against. Get that kids back up and he won't back down. Also moving him for the 10th time just creates more fellings of unstability. Why should he even try to make friends, they always get taken away from him by having to move. If he thinks he has to stick it out in one place he may figure he better make the best of it and try to get along with those there.
