Daughter is wrapping up EK, and has been in EK since 2nd grade. She loves how diverse her friends are, always talks good about her teachers, is friends with all kids from all economic backgrounds. Taxes are a bit high, but the school has the money it needs. She gets tutoring when needed, texts back...
