[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guaranteed you're going to get a 5pg thread on the merits, pros, and cons of this decision. We're inviting 18 people to DD's party. She will write thank you notes to all, and to any grandparents, aunts, uncles, or godparents who give her a gift as well. We're just old school that way.[/quote] Old school is that you thank the giver in person at the party. You only send thank you notes to distant relatives who mailed the present. Not opening presents, and then writing thank you notes to everyone is a very new concept. [/quote] I'll add that forcing academics on 5 year olds is also not "old school". Traditionally, writing was something you started learning at 6 or 7. A 5 year old who was in K would be learning the formation of the upper case letters, and how to use them to spell their first name. At the very most they'd be signing their name on a card dictated to their mother or father. [/quote]
