More High School News

There are several high schools that we are looking at as possible destinations, and like many things in life, sometimes having options makes it harder. Life is so much simpler when they just tell you what to do, but is simpler better? Not always?

I arranged to meet with the principal of Woodstock and went over to meet with him. I have to say, not only was he a really nice guy, but he was smart and very well-versed in all things education. Very approachable and willing to talk to me about the possibilities, and there are a lot of possibilities. Some of them I was aware of because we know a few people who homeschool and attend high school. Basically the principal told me on the one end you have students going full time, and on the other, students who take no classes but play sports. Our options would fall somewhere in-between.

As I mentioned, we know people who cover those different options, some of whom take no classes but play sports, and others who do a hybrid program of homeschooling, high school classes, and community college classes. We are intrigued by all the possibilities. Whatever we end up doing, it was nice to talk to the principal, especially since he's a nice guy. I'm sure we'll talking to many other principals in the near future.

Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Krzysztof Pacholak for the pic.
