I meant to say, "We have GREAT schools in Iowa City!"

The good solution was worked out years ago in America--a high-quality public education, available to all kids regardless of their parents' incomes or levels of education. We have schools in Iowa City! Every single one of them. Hoover and its teachers are known to be especially beloved by the parents there.

I was also put off by the appearance of our school (Twain) on first inspection. I also hemmed and hawed about whether we should open-enroll Arlo in a different public school because of the repuation of other kids on the southeast side--kids that would be sharing the Twain hallways with our precious, sensitive, sweet little boy. The building's not pretty. It's old and dark and in need of updates. But it is filled with happy kids and caring teachers--and we have watched Arlo thrive there, in spite of our initial misgivings.

It's up to you to decide what's best for Ava, but I think she's a lucky little girl to have such a wonderful public school (with an awesome playground, if you ask Arlo) within a few blocks of home. And I think you should give it a try.

Sometimes I feel like a squashed pine cone, too. *sniff*

Such a beautiful little mama, with the tattoo on her arm and everything. I approve! (But yes, let's see if we can get her to wait at least 20 years before doing the real thing.)

I am so jealous of Ava right now.
