The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

So since I first began the blog my husband and I have had a HUGE debate. My husband approached me one night and told me that he felt we should give DJ a chance to go to kindergarten in a public school, especially since we live in such a good school district. My nature caused me to buck this suggestion and rule it out immediately. How could someone I love and trust so much ask me to go against everything I believe in? Through much prayer and talking to my husband I had to come to terms with myself, and my own bias. Homeschooling is My belief, because I know how great it was for Me, but my husband does not have this experience. So, I set up a meeting with the principal at the elementary school, I checked over the curriculum, we discussed my fears, worries, concerns, beliefs, etc. I am going to compromise with my husband, as these are OUR children. DJ goes to kindergarten in public school, but if any of the serious concerns that I have materialize DJ comes home. I'm not totally okay with this, but I'm pretty sure it's a Me thing. I'm going to trust my husband with this and we'll see what the Lord has in store. I will still be blogging on here with our experience with kindergarten. So far the enrollment experience was not too painful. DJ isn't sure how he feels about it yet, but we're trying to make it a positive thing. We have come to a unanimous decision that public school is not an option post elementary school. I just wish that there was still a half day option in our school district. Apparently there are not enough parents interested. I won't go on a rant about my feelings there because it would just sound very critical and judgmental. Enough for now. I guess for now more appropriate would be "Here We Go Public School". Will need much support for this one. I welcome suggestions. Thanks for letting me sound off.
