Kindergarten Prep?
Ben will start kindergarten next year, and until I read this article, my only concern was actually finding him a good school. We've looked at three so far, have nine more to go, and the whole process seems kind of insane (less so since I met someone who looked at 19 schools...)
However, I am relieved that neither I nor Tony feels the need to embark on crazy, competitive kindergarten prep classes for our kid. We're doing our job -- reading to Ben, talking to him, not putting him into an isolation tank each day -- and we'll count on his school teachers to do their jobs. I wonder how long we'll be able to keep it so simple?
