I’m already quite certain that Lydia would flourish in a public school setting, just like I did. She’ll likely be very much like me, and less like her dad. All my aunts say she looks and acts just like me as a baby. She seems to be hitting her milestones at exactly the same rate that I did. And I parent very much like my own mother – only I have about 18 years more formal education than she has, so Lydia’s got an edge on even me.
