Ahhhhh so I am feeling stressed about school!!!  Not school for me, but school for Goose!  He's 4 1/2 and due to start Prep next year.  However, I feel like he's not actually ready for it and have considered holding him back a year.  Actually, had made that decision to.... then he got offered a place in a school of choice.  Again, though, I'm not sure it fits HIM.  It's a good school and all but it still leaves me wondering about home schooling or hmmm maybe Montessori schools.  The style of teaching in Montessori schools REALLY suits Goose's style of learning.  What is going to be a better choice?  Mainstream, home schooling or Montessori?  Can I do at home basically what Montessori offers, therefore saving at a minimum around $4,000 in a year and putting some of those funds towards other activities for him?  These are such HUGE decisions for such little people :/
