After all my rants on the school where we enrolled Mateo, I never thought he would enjoy school AND doing homework after only a month. Right now he almost never complains anymore in the morning whenever we answer ‘yes’ to his question of ‘is there school?’ He even tells us that he’s sad whenever there is no school. He also rarely looks back whenever we bring him to school because he’s so eager to go inside his classroom and be with his classmates. Aside from these, he would even prompt me about doing his homework! I am now a believer of routine.

It seems that our little guy simply needed time to adjust and we are glad that he’s finally enjoying school again despite the fact that there are still soooo many things that Ramil and I do not agree with.

I think it is both an advantage and a disadvantage that we are both teachers because we often find things that we think should be done differently. We just make sure that we do the necessary corrections at home and we would like to believe that Mateo will still be educated the way we want to because we spend more time with him anyway.
