My youngest grandchild started Kindergarten on Friday. Talked with her yesterday to find out how things went. I fully expected her to have won a trip to the principal's office as she is a chip off this old block. She assured me that she did not get in trouble, but, "Jackson" did. Twice. He was sentenced to the timeout chair for hitting a classmate. Then she told me that one of the boys in her class had walked up to her and said, "You're gonna grow boobies somday just like my mama." She told him, "That is inappropriate language at Kindergarten. Now, stop it." She explained to me that, "Maybe that would be OK at his home, but not at Kindergarten."
"Inappropriate" is a big word for a kindergartner ... somebody taught her well!:good:
“"You're gonna grow boobies somday just like my mama.""
Back in the olden days if a juvenile parochial school inmate were to make a proclamation such as the one above the Nun’s would have beat him senseless, called the Parents to pick up the urchin and given the Parents an unyielding sermon on morals.
The Parents would then transport the already wounded child home and beat him again for embarrassing them. I know from that silly thing called experience. 😉
Have a great week! B-)
At that age I could barely say kindygarden, let alone inappropiate and language. We didn't even have a kindygarden so we simply started First Grade when we got old enough. Then we only went for eight months. Two rooms. First through Fourth in the little room and Fifth through Eighth in the big room. Learned real quick not to correctly answer a teacher's question after an older kid got it wrong.
I thought the same thing. If she is using inappropriate in first day of KG then she is off the charts in language skills. Somebody is teaching and reading to her at home.
I get to know lot of KG and 1st graders from soccer. As a club official, I also monitor their coaches for behavior at times.
Last year, at a U6 games which are kids under 6 in age, a coach at half time extolled his team to “neutralize”’ the other team. He is a good coach and very positive with the kids so I just shook my head in wonder.
But I could imagine a kid talking to his grandpa on the phone after the game:
Grandpa: "So how was your game today?"
Kid: "Great! we neuteredized the other team."
🙂
Now that is cute and classy. Smart kid! 🙂
Sister Mary Catherine and her wooden ruler...
The knuckle smacking queen of the universe. I think she could've hunted bear with a willow switch.
No wonder her nickname was "Atilla the Hun.":'(
My youngest granddaughter is starting Kindergarten this morning. The two Oldest granddaughters (5 days apart in age)are Seniors this year.:excruciating:
