It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

What is a Friends school? And lots of interview~ma to Stephen.
Work is no longer nibbling me from the bottom up. It is into full on gobbling. For the last couple of months, my projects have imploded in order, one after the other. This month - they are double (triple) teaming me. I refuse to do more than 12 hours a day though. That is my line in the sand. I think. At least so far.
For now? Whiskey.

Because books.
Thanks, sara -- I was just wondering about the perspective of a (hypothetical) former student. I love the school already -- Mom has worked there for five years now (or six? I can't remember) and Sara has attended summer camp there. It's a great place, and the staff is fantastic and the kids are wonderful. She'll be one of only 12 or 13 in her class, which is amazing.
And it's really a gift -- the fifth grade still has open spaces, and the administration suggested that we enroll her, and said scholarships would cover the tuition (which is not even anywhere doable otherwise).

They're Quaker schools, Suzi. Quakers are the Society of Friends (I think).

It certainly should be. You should also definitely have whiskey.

Society of Friends = Quaker...widely known for the quality of their education.

Society of Friends, aka Quakers. Like any other religion, they have private schools.
There's a reason many presidential kids end up at Friends' schools in DC.

Friends schools generally have a lot of emphasis on teaching the kids to get along with each other and find peaceful ways to resolve conflicts. From what I've seen of graduates, the schools are pretty good at instilling that as actual values, not just stuff that the kids know how to parrot.

In this part of PA, too, Friends Schools are really thick on the ground. The one here dates back ... to the early 1800s, I think? Something like that.

Good lord, Suzi, that is a lot of work! Don't wear yourself out too much if you can help it.
