School Blues

A spot finally opened up at the preschool. SO Carson has been attending for about 4 weeks. I can tell that he likes it but is not enthused. This preschool doesn't even compare to the last one. His classroom is full and very diversified (and there is nothing wrong with that). His last preschool was nothing like that. They were needing students and he was getting a lot of attention and I had 30 min window of when I could drop him off and pick him up. Now I only have a fifteen minute window. You can't even come into the school before 7:45 but they lock down at 8. And after that you have to be buzzed in and explain yourself. It feels like a prison. School has definitely changed since I attended. There is always a line of parents and kids waiting to get in for drop off and pickup. And did I mention if you don't walk fast enough you get ran over. Anyway I only have to do it like two 1/2 more months.
And last I have the school blues because Carson is going to be attending school for 14 more years and hopefully 4 more after that for college. Its like he's starting a career. I only get to see him 3 months out of the year when he has nothing planned. I can't even believe it. I remember counting down the years I had left until I graduated high school. And that was in elementary. Once I got to junior high and they started mentioning college I stopped counting. Its seems to me there could be a more efficient way to get all the schooling in faster. But I don't have any brilliant ideas but if you do please share.
