Taylor, Ken, and I sat down and went through the decision process last night about middle schools.  It is soooo nice to have a choice in the matter but at the same time, it’s stressful too!  We looked at the websites for the schools and talked about what we all wanted in a middle school.  Even Allison, the other middle school and feeder school for Bostic, claimed they had a rigorous academic program.  Taylor ultimately decided that he did indeed want to attend Robinson, stating that the idea of not having to wear uniforms (a big reason for not liking Bostic) and intramural soccer helped his decision.  Ken and I are thrilled, as that’s what we wanted anyway.  He’ll have to maintain a 2.5 GPA for 6th grade but I think he’ll have so much fun with the projects that he gets to do that he won’t have any trouble.  They’ll still continue with his gifted work in LA as well.  I actually had the opportunity to observe at Robinson when I was getting my degree and loved the stuff I saw.  We’ll be at the Open House for 5th graders later this month.
