School

The kids have done great with school. Macayla smiles a lot when we talk about it and seems to enjoy it. The teachers say she is still responsive and smiles. Jacob has adjusted great. Keep a check on his page soon. He is excited about school and I just wish that excitement would last the rest of the time he gets an education. His teachers are really nice and they have great ways to get Jacob motivated.  Jacob's classroom is directly across the hall from Macayla's. We are fortunate to live in an area where the schools are this nice and full of great people. By Anderson real estate standards, we don't live in the "most desirable school zone," but we have had a great experience here. I think if people here saw the condition of schools in places like New Orleans or even in Allendale, SC, they would realize what a blessing we have in our schools (even the "less desirable" ones in the real estate market). We have great teachers and great facilities. It's not perfect, but opportunities abound for the kids and almost all of the teachers we have met truly care about what they are doing. Most of them we met are driven by their faith in Christ. Even though they can't openly express faith in a public school, the values and love still shines through. That is one benefit of living in this area. We are fortunate to be where we are and we are thankful.
