I went to a private school from K-7, when I was abruptly yanked and put into a much larger, public school for the last year of junior high. I made a few new friends and survived, but I grew up with those K-7 kids and they were family. Being pulled out of that family really sucked.
Because of that experience, and because I believe that kids with more friends are more likely to succeed and less likely to be bullied, I plan to carefully choose the south Carlsbad district where our kids will make their second family, rent there until we’re able to buy, and keep them with those friends from K-12.
