All my dreams (well, not all of them) were crushed the other day when I heard, no, the state revoked the funding for the immersion programs, but then yes, we pestered our reps enough that they've restored the funding, but then again no, they restored the funding to all the programs except mine. It never really was mine. But after emailing people and filling out forms and going to a meeting and contacting people on the phone, district people, school admin people, and meeting with a realtor to buy a house near enough the school so my children could attend and being so excited that this was actually happening knowing that NOWHERE near me are there any German immersion programs offered, I kind of felt like, you know, it was going to happen and I could claim it and plan on having my children attend.
Well, that dream is crushed. And every time I think about it makes me want to cry.
But I'm sure that we'll find a better school for us, and a better house for us, and better opportunities for us and our German and that this is all part of that great big plan. And I'm working on finding a bright side to all of this... so I started looking at homes near Foothill and Orchard and Canyon Crest schools.
Anyway, it will all be for the best because we will make it for the best.

i hope you find somewhere. It is hard to see how it's all going to work out sometimes, im sure it's all part of your unique plan! :)
ReplyDeletehey that means you can buy OUR house!!!
ReplyDeleteLike Mom always says... It always works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out yet, it isn't the end.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm sorry. I know how disappointing it is to be counting on something and than have that go away.
Gwen and Anna, your mom has the best sayings. I hope you have them recorded somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing to work so hard and feel like you made a difference, but then not have it make a difference for you.
My favorite saying of my mom's is "buck up, kid."
ReplyDeleteSuch a bummer that Lakeview isn't going to do German immersion. It sounds like you are doing your best to make lemonade out of lemons, though :) I love seeing all of your creative ideas and you are so inspiring when it comes to doing a "home-school" preschool! I love it (even though I rarely find time to comment) :)
ReplyDeleteAww that is a SAD story!!! I'm sorry! Maybe some day...
ReplyDeletewell, now I'm looking into charter schools. We'll see what happens.
