Transitioning to a large public school and a new neighborhood has been interesting and has presented some challenges. Over all, it has been a positive experience for my son, especially academically. However, it has not been as easy as I had imagined for all of us to become socially integrated in our new location; I suppose that will come with time.
When a neighbor asked me to join carpool, my initial thoughts were, “wow, this would be a great way to get to know some of the neighbors better, and I could use an extra 45 minutes in the morning!” Continue reading “Why I Opted Out of Carpool”
