Instincts


Eli finished a book with over 700 pages last night (Harry Potter). I want to take the book into the public school and slide it across the desk of the school principal. This isn’t where we started the year before kindergarten. I received a phone call at 9:30pm one night front the principal. Eli might be better off in a prek class. He stood and asked a lot of questions during kindergarten round up. He wasn’t able to recite his address. There was no understanding of how being a in a strange environment might impact his ability to complete a standardized assessment. Mama bear (as my neighbor girl as come to refer to me), kicked in. I knew my child better, and it’s one of a million times I am so happy I went with my gut instincts.
