Options

One of my youngest friends was just accepted to a pre-K at a wonderful private school that she could attend through 8th grade.  As is the case with many of my friends, this child's parents have deliberated since her birth about her educational options.  During the competitive acceptance process, this bright child was placed on a waiting list and her parents began exploring other options.  They weighed every factor and ultimately found a new home in a neighborhood with many young families and strong public schools.  Decision making becomes more difficult as the importance increases. They've had the chance to weigh all the variables and choose the option that works best for their family. 

There are many instances, such as this, where there is not one right answer.  Having multiple attractive options gives us more control.
