A little further along the road and there's still just me: one vegan mom with two vegan boys - re-entering public school. Public school has not been kind to us in the past. Arver (nickname) attended junior kindergarten and cried every school day the entire school year. We are very close. Adah (not his real name either) did five years in two different schools. Adah is short and sweet and vegan - not traits that make you popular in public school (with students or administration, sadly).
Homeschooling was a lot of hard work, but brilliant. We made a lot of really good friends and participated in some amazing programs. Yet, despite all my efforts, the amount of socialization just wasn't enough for dear sweet Adah, especially living next to a public school and him seeing large groups of kids playing every day at break. He craved more. I couldn't find room in our schedule for more than our two weekly playdates and I couldn't find any homeschoolers willing to move next door. So we're trying public school again. Third time's the charm, right?
