Top Five

Top five ways you know your kids are in the Spanish school:
1. WordReference.com is a permanent tab on your internet browser
2. Your preschooler comes home saying, “Es mio!”
3. Flamenco is an after school activity.
4. They cancel school on account of the weather and you get no phone call, no e-mail, nada. The only way to find out is to walk there and find the gates locked.
5. You speak to your husband in Spanish hoping the kids won’t understand and you get an instant translation instead.

Top two ways you know it’s a public school:
1. Your kid tells you “”So-and-so doesn’t have a dad – he’s in prison.”
2. “Neither does so-and-so, her dad got sent back where he came from.”
