big decisions

rather surprisingly, i have just decided--with glass midway to my lips and words for a conference paper fforming in my head--that i am not going to send the kids to kindergarten next year. it would be stressful for me, busy busy for them, and would provide them with absolutely no skills that they don't already have.

so that's it. regardless of whether or not this makes me a good, bad, or hideously evil parent in the eyes of ed bureaucracies throughout the land, I DON'T CARE. and WE'RE NOT DOING IT.

decisiveness is good.
