This is the time so many of you are thinking about what school to choose next year. Does your child stay at St. Stephen’s another year, head to Junior Kindergarten or go to Kindergarten?
The preschool contracts are out. The independent school letters will be out soon. Kindergarten registration is April 19 in Richmond and all of the surrounding counties. There are many decisions to make. This quote may help you evaluate your child as you are making this important decision.
“…we pay a great deal of attention to our scholastic educations, which are formal and supervised, and we devote much less public thought to our emotional educations, which are unsupervised and haphazard. This is odd, since our emotional educations are much more important to our long-term happiness and the quality of our lives.”
David Brooks, in his article “The Other Education,” New York Times, November 27, 2009.
If you are still batting ideas about and are unsure about what your plans will be, please give me a call. It would be my pleasure to talk with you about your child and his/her future.
