| Oh wait, thats the teacher. But I did get the distinct impression that parents are giving their children performance enhancing drugs so they could be the alpha dogs at calendar time. I rummaged through one mom's purse and found a prescription, so I KNOW. Also, I threw the fire alarm to distract everyone so I could look at the school files and saw FOR A FACT that the file for the oldest boy did not have a doctor's note. I am certain that my child will not get into an ivy because there are teenagers in his class, or kids approaching their teens be a . . . number of years . .and I thinks its terribly wrong. Just really unfair. |

| My daughters kindergarten class has an actual dinosaur in it. They call him Al, and make him little hats. |

| You are looking at this all wrong. If you have older parents you take care of, dropping they and your children off at school together in the morning is really the easiest way to make sure both are taken care of while you are at work. |

| I think I love you! But then again, your parents probably held you back so that you appear funnier than I am and destroy my self image. |

| Where I live, the 45-year-old in the Kindergarten class is usually the hovering neurotic mother of the 5-year-old kindergarten daughter. |

| Well, in my DD's class, I know the older kids for sure because they are required to wear red shirts everyday. And my brilliant DD, who has already completed Calculus in K, gets to wear red pants everyday. Saves a lot on clothing costs. |

| Well, my DS has a classmate in 1st grade who drives to school, sports a full beard and has a part time job. How can my little 6YO sunshine compete with that? |

What K provides Calculus instruction? Your brilliant DD needs redtrousering to an appropriate class or tutor. Get her out of K. |

| We are the only Big One-K that offers calculus. |

Well we were going to have her start college instead of going to 1st grade. But we thought it was much more important to have her with kids her own age even if some of them are still in Pull-ups instead of kids who were at her academic ability! |

| By college you mean Ivy League college right? Because no other college is acceptable for my children. |

| 16:52 You described me perfectly! Except I have a boy,not a girl but full blown rotors hovering at all times. He is a March birthday (not held back) but probably should have been. There's always gap year after high school and then I just know he will go to Yale. Yippee!!! |

Well, my kid is the one attending the school, not me.
So it is cool she does not mind |

| But what was the 45 year old's WPPSI score? I'll bet it was only 98th percentile -- 99.1 at most. MY kid's was 110.2! |

I have not visited DCUM in a number of months - the tone of many of the posts has been too negative for my comfort - and on a whim I came to visit today. Your post on "my daughter's Kindergarten has a 45 year old in it" brought a smile to my face. Thank you for the humor!
