My 3 1/2 year-old daughter sees the kids playing at recess and longs to join them. She begs to go to school. When I try to tell her the truth about school, her mother and my parents think I am trying to brainwash her. I'm simply telling her that what she sees the kids enjoying (and most of them are enjoying, though some are being victimized and bullied) is NOT school. I tell her that school is all about sitting still and being quiet and being talked to. She doesn't believe me. I'm not the kind of person to forbid her from trying school if that is what she really wants, but I know once in the system, it would be much harder to drop off the radar. I'd probably be forced to move and leave no forwarding address.Kent McManigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005964583189815410noreply@blogger.com
