Emerging Parents

It’s that time of year again – students are heading back to school.  While it was fun sending my husband back to school (seminary) last year, this year was the first time I have sent a child off to school.  Granted, Emma is only in a half-day three day a week preschool program, but it was still a milestone.  So amidst this transition time of year, I’d like to hear from other emerging parents on the topics of school and education.  What are your back to school thoughts?  What fears or hopes do you have for this school year?  Why do you choose the sort of education that you do (public, private, homeschooled, montessori, unschooled…)?  What inspires you about educational practices and what disappoints you?  Send in your thoughts and reflections (any length) to emergingparents@gmail.com and lets work through this time of transition together.
