Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

Liza's school is quite strict but I'll be honest that was one of the reasons I chose it-- there's a lot of emphasis on personal responsbility and respect for one another and the teachers. for example, if she forgets her lunch she can not call me at home to deliver it - they will give her a bag lunch but students can't call home if they forget homework and if they leave somethign at school they can't return for it. And while there's a strict code of conduct I've never felt that they stifled 'who' liza is --on the contrary they've really let her flourish and find her way. The class sizes are small and she feels very comfortable and at home there. Our city elementary and middle schools are huge and liza is the kind of kid who can be easily swallowed up in them. So for me, this little school allows us the kind o small town community feel I was looking for within our city.
And she's getting pushed in all the right ways academically I think -- so for us it is the right choice. It's a struggle at times and we don't qualify for aid b/c of her dad's salary but I think it's worth it.... (plus I LOVE them uniforms! LOL)
Yes. We. Did.
My kids didn't ride the bus for the same reasons. We lived in a rural school district and the routes were long. It was a much better use of their time to not sit on the bus for so long every day.

This is my experience also.
