This has been a really stressful couple of weeks, prepping Little e for high school launch. Last week it was foreign language placement, this week it was 504 accommodations. I think we landed where we needed to both times, happily. Mr. eirias and I are cautiously optimistic. It will be a big change, moving from tiny high-privilege private school to large high-poverty public school. We think our young nonbinary alterna-teen is more likely to find their people there than in any of the other schools we thought about. I'm hoping there will be enough challenge in the classwork that they don't pull out all their feathers. We're both thinking that having to walk to school will be a positive change.
