I could use some words of support. The NYC school system is vast and complex, so much so that even the guidance counselors dont know all that there is to offer. When enrolling Audrey a month ago, I just didnt know what questions to ask and thought I had done my research but really had only scratched the surface. She didnt end up where we thought she would, but instead had to scramble last minute and take what was the closest fit. She walked in and immediately said it was comfortable and the school has high marks and is progressive in how it teaches, using projects and performance as the markers, not teaching for the test. Some things are missing but offers others that maybe shes not considered would be good for her. I am an information freak. Just taking what gets handed out to my kids is not my style. I need to let go of my expectations of what her needs are and go with it--but struggle with the idea that the best option is maybe doing just that. Ugh. Maybe Im afraid I failed by not getting more information up front. Its such a burden to fixate but I cant seem to shake it! She starts at the Institute for Collaborative Education tomorrow morning.
