no, they don't. he's in a Montessori school, & this year he's
starting at a different one, but i've never had more than 3
weeks notice before the start of school.
and this summer has been rather messed up with surgery &
radiation therapy, so i'm NOT ready for school to start. i
have mose projects i wanted to get done with Boo :p

yet another reason i won't use public schools. we're planning
a trip to Ireland/Scotland in a year or so. it may stretch
into a 6 month or longer 'world tour'... i realize public
schools really frown on that sort of broadening of the child's
world view... better to get a dry *old* textbook view,
don'tcha know.
