<p>Thanks, all! I think I’m almost over my word quota for the year with that post; good thing it’s November!</p>

<p>historymom, I wish I knew. Clearly, they are getting it from somewhere. </p>

<p>tokenadult, S didn’t want to attend boarding school. College, yes; boarding school, no. Part of his rationale was the cost; he knew (I did not tell him this) that if his parents spent money on private school (day or boarding), there would be that much less available for college. He’d rather have the money spent on college. There are good private schools in the DC area, and we looked at some of them. He was not enthusiastic about them, and SR seemed a much better fit, to him, and to me. (His dad didn’t visit SR until we moved our spawn into his dorm.)</p>
<p>When I first started looking into SR, it was with an eye toward its being a possibility for spawn’s senior year of high school, because at that point, he’d have had to go on to college for math and foreign language anyway. As his unhappiness and our disappointment with his high school grew, we knew he couldn’t stay where he was, so…</p>
<p>EngProfMom, I’d be thrilled, thrilled, if my Owlet phoned me once a week! Ever would make me pretty happy, too!</p>
