Nathan has his assessment week this coming week at the local gifted school... He will go into the 3 - 4 year class in January.
We got the fee structure for the two kids and nearly had a heart attack on the spot. It's a 12% increase from this year plus a hefty "Admin" fee for registration. Geez it's crazy.
Do you recon it would be within my rights as a paying customer (cause that's what it feels like this is about - business rather than about the kids needs) to demand what we have been promised all along (ie a personalised learning plan) for both kids? I fail to see the need to pay fees like this and then still have to educate my kids the way they need/want after school - fork out money for equipment, curriculae, online memberships, additional books etc.
I refuse to pay this amount of money purely for them to colour, cut and paste and "play nicely with their little friends" kwim?
I am all for homeschooling/unschooling, but hubby feels that Nathan is way too excited now, that he needs to experience school as he has watched Aiden going for the last 2 years etc etc.
thoughts/opinions?
