Everywhere I looked there were these reptiles attacking. So when I woke up, I had to ask myself, Why do I see the world as a bunch of reptiles attacking? And then the dream began to reveal itself to me. Without the reptiles I can't get to the memories of my own positive qualities. I know when the reptiles appeared in my life and I know what they have done and unlike what the psychology books say, they didn't arrive early in my life, but only after a half century. They love to torment me, but I know they are there when I forget to remember God inside, that is forget to remember all of those positive qualities that He has placed in there, that only experience and transformation can bring out. So what is my thing? My thing is reptiles. Well I am glad they were komodo dragons. So my mantra today is finding the positives and then using them in the world, but what is interesting to me is that my thing didn't start until as I was 50. So if you think that your thing comes from the family you grew up in, just wait. You haven't seen nothing yet.!!!!!! But I love those reptiles because they take me to a better place.

SOunds like dante is in an awesome school! I know there are a couple of montessori public schools around here that are lottery, but no 16 kid hippy wonderland schools like sundance! Who wouldn't want to go to a school named sundance? Well, we are going to try the lotteries and leave it in Gods hand for sure. Hope you and crunchy care (and all your crunchy babies) are doing well! thanks kira for your ever insightful, and practical advice! SOunds like dante is in an awesome school!

Dante did one month of Kindergarten at a public school which rated high on the list released by the local paper (I think they ranked schools on the grades children achieved or something like that) I had concerns about some of the school policies (with regard to safety) and my meetings with the principal and teacher left me feeling completely shut down and unvalued. So, we pulled him out and did the Home-Learning program @ Oak & Orca Bioregional School. It was easy, because I didn't really do anything outside of what I'd normally do, but had $$$$$$$$$ from the government to spend on books, supplies and so on, which was a wonderful benefit and got lots of creative ideas for learning opportunities in everyday activities. This year, we miraculously managed to get Dante in at a very very popular school in Oak Bay called SunDance. It is part of the public school system, but is unique - very small (Dante's class has 8 boys and 8 girls) and some Maxwell-ish qualities. Kiana is on the waitlist for 2012, ha ha! See what's out there, ask heaps of questions and find out how parental involvement is handled at any schools you look at. Dante's school welcomes parents in the classroom and parents and staff meet together very regularly to shape the way the school is run and the children are educated - it's very cool. I know that whatever you guys decide - THAT will be the best thing for your family. You put so much love and care into your choices, and at some point you just have to let go and trust that God will oversee the rest ;-) Lots of love to you all! - K I’m a little late on this one, but wanted to add that there are so manymanymany types of schools out there, even *within* the public school system.
