As if being a parent equalled having a lobotomy and that we're totally incompetant to rear our own kids without their 'expert' help. It's even more hilarious when the 'expert' has no children of their own!<br /><br />-Here on the blog hop, got you on GFC and voted for you on TOP 25.ShinyIndigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835407877170566776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170040048668390939.post-39073140760569533002011-04-26T17:23:10.743-07:002011-04-26T17:23:10.743-07:00Hooray for you mom!!!!!

My daughter is in Kindergarten, and yes, she can write full sentences, which I wasn't required to do until late first grade... but she's also showing signs of stress, so say those who have said degrees. <br /><br />Are any of us who were allowed to actually be kids during our youth, any worse off for it? Would I be a skillionaire right now if I'd learned to write "I look at the bus" two years earlier?Matt Conlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616567498642991754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170040048668390939.post-87848895315565087142011-04-22T05:56:03.614-07:002011-04-22T05:56:03.614-07:00For every good teacher, you have about five bad on...For every good teacher, you have about five bad ones. It's just the nature of public education. Good mothers know their children best.

However he did have some darn good teachers that helped him along the way, but I was right there supporting him to help him be successful.<br />Curious that they could not determine his hand dominance easily. Must not have watched him for long.jkraus8464https://www.blogger.com/profile/15138306757339514666noreply@blogger.com
