between dan and i, we have personally toured a dozen schools looking for the right spot for little miss p. in september.
i kept waiting for that 'aha!' moment when i felt i'd found the perfect place. kind of like how i felt when i found my wedding dress. didn't happen. well, that's if you don't include the french american international school, which i totally fell in love with, but is private and a whole different ballgame. but now i have to decide how to play the san francisco unified school district (sfusd) lottery game with the clock ticking.
for the uninitiated, one must choose up to seven schools on the application which goes into a city-wide lottery. the deadline for these apps is friday. a huge part of me wants to go for a spanish immersion program. an equally big part values the simplicity and community of a local school. none of the city's spanish immersion schools are close to us, so those concepts cancel each other out.
i really thought by now i would have decided on some kind of strategy, it's unlike me to not have a gut feeling about something so important.
