Ok, I'll talk to the teacher about the mean kids. I just hate to be "that Mom." I think they are going to want us to commit to next year sometime in February. The other school would like a $400 "down-payment" by mid Feb to hold a spot . That sounds reasonable to me since they are truly going on faith that the interested parents are going to follow through. I will have to be honest with them so they know I am keeping options open. We just haven't had enough time to make an informed decision. I'm hoping today was just an off day, and not the beginning of a familiar pattern, but if it continues I know where we'll be next year.
