episode notes
In this episode, Elizabeth Newcamp, Zach Rosen, and Lucy Lopez examine the classic question: “What school is right for your family?” Our letter writer's child is talented and his family is hooked on a local private school, but he also struggles with guilt. How important is it to do what’s best for your child if it means putting them in a privilege bubble?
I also share about products and activities that I'm currently loving. So if you have Slate Plus, does screaming actually help?
Recommendations:
Zach: In the winter, I use a bag of warm water to remove ice from my car.
Lucy: A quarterly family vision board!
Elizabeth: Sushi Monster App
