Kindergarten Jitters
(2 of 2)
Oh, did I mention our preschool meeting with the guidance counselor last spring? My son happily chatted away for 10 minutes, and then the counselor, having got a nice sense of him--"you seem like a fun guy,'' she said--turned to me: "Any questions?''
I wanted to impress her with my maternal concern and intelligence, but instead of a probing question--or even an idiotic one--here's what I said: "I think you've covered everything.'' She smiled--and jotted a little note. Yikes. I'm sure that's going on my permanent record. You know, maybe it's time to think about home schooling.
