We live in a big city, and that means that I could easily spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on my toddler’s education even before the private school tuition bills arrive. Music, language, arts, sports … you name it, and there’s a provider of the service. There’s even a new Kidville - a sort-of upscale, one-stop shop for pint-sized enrichment classes - 15 miles away.
I’m not inclined to take part in any of these things, even though we could afford it. We’ve contented ourselves with our church’s nursery school, and we’ve been satisfied. But now there’s turmoil in the Turtle Room, and I must admit I’m losing more sleep than is sensible.
