( I would enjoy being a little "bird" listening to his stories of his school and peers.) When I was 12, I did not want to be stuck inside- summer, fall, winter, or spring - no way. <br />I am anticipating your next blog of more new experiences.

Later, we'll see if he wants to walk on his own, or if there are kids in our neighborhood who walk together. We are not interested in homeschooling Joel because he needs to be able to have friends his own age. Also, can you imagine being stuck in a small apartment at the age of 12 with just your parents for several months? :-)<br />Joel does have work to do from Washington Gifted back home, which he will do in the afternoons, as well as work preparing for his Bar Mitzvah a year from now. We are going up to talk to the headmaster of the upper division of his school this morning.<br /><br />CecileAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09391900059444008892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879494460660236830.post-82094502019732905992014-02-24T22:07:28.381-05:002014-02-24T22:07:28.381-05:00Cecile, I am very excited to know you found a nice...Cecile, I am very excited to know you found a nice place to live and within 10 minutes of Joel's school. Will he walk to school ? Ride a bus ? Trolley ? I am awaiting news and photos of Joel's school.<br /><br /> Is home schooling an option ? It seems Steve would be an outstanding educator/dad. The classroom(s) would be Chilean villages, cities and countryside and, possibly, the surrounding countries. What great experiences for each of you !! <br />This like reading a book, but I cannot read ahead to see what happens next. I guess I am "hooked" .
