Because geek is cool and clever

Private school June 19, 2010

I send my daughter to a private school. It’s a lovely, wonderful, happy place and every day I love the fact that she is there and in a class with just about 10 other girls.
The school has the most perfect feeling of calm and caring.
Mollie becomes a teenager this year and she has been there since she was four years old. That’s how close it is to her heart. With luck she will be there for her entire education.
I can’t imagine anything better. I was moved around schools quite a bit and it disrupted me more than I realised. That’s probably an excuse but I’ll take it.
So Mollie will be at the one school until she goes to university. I don’t feel she is getting a better education necessarily (although she just came top in her English exams) but I love that she feels happy and included at school. I never did.
That is why I plough most of my salary into her education. It might fail but at least I’ll know I have tried.
