[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn’t Ramona only 4 when she played at the playground outside the community center where Beezus took an art class? That struck me. Nobody could do that now.

We coddle our children so much [/quote]

The difference between Ramona's Kindergarten, where she was working on writing her own name, and taking a nap, and playing outside, and her mom stopped walking her to school after showing her the way one time, and 2024 Kindergarten is startling.

For real. We live two houses away from the bus stop and are required to pick our kindergartener up every day (even though she has an older sibling on the bus). Paranoid people like the PP who is concerned someone will kidnap and rape her child have ruined the country for our children.[/quote]

And in contrast, I can remember my mother arguing with my brother's first grade teacher that his last name was too long to expect a little boy to be able to spell, and that expecting "Thomas" on every paper instead of "Tom" was also a little too much writing to expect of such a young child.
