It's that time of year in Puerto Rico, private schools reservation payments!

At this time, we have to reserve the seat for next school year. I hate this! My daughter always whines (and I follow her) with all the complaints: why she can’t be homeschooled, it’s so difficult, she wants to have a “normal” social life (she’s only 11).

I support her, but because I am divorced and with a special needs child, my husband doesn’t feel appropriate to homeschool all 3 children. He never was that fond of the idea, but discovered that it was a great solution for our son and keep on being a great solution. (Did I told you that the reservation payment is $1115.00 and a monthly payment of $215.00 for Middle School and for the other child $700 the reservation payment and $285 the monthly payment? That will be a total for both girls of $1815 for the reservation and $500 in monthly payments of the schools.) I have been thinking in having a distance learning program for my 11 yo for 7^th grade and keeping her home and another for my 9 yo for 5^th grade. My son still is on a remedial program for second grade and reading at a kinder / early first grade level. I just hope I can convince my husband to take a leap on our children’s education!

   By the way, he had a dictation today and… cheated the last two words! I had the answers on the back of my notebook and he looked! I know you are thinking, why are you celebrating? I was laughing because I just forgot he has autism and most autistic children are not aware of situations like this (well, those I know at least).
