J missed two days of school last week, our first school absence experience. I sent a note to his teacher, asking if he needed to make up any work, and if so, could she please send it home with him?
Her reply was, "I'm not worried about J. He can skip the work he missed."
Yeah, well, he could skip kindergarten entirely, but I'm hoping he'll actually learn something by going and doing work!
I don't care so much about the classwork. After all, it's probably better suited to 3 yr old Z. But I have yet to see any sort of effort from his teacher to challenge J.
She says that her own kids were all just like J. At first I took comfort in that, but now I'm wondering what she did about it back then? Did she just let her children be unchallenged in school? I hope that's not her plan for J. I'm really looking forward to parent-teacher conferences in a few weeks.
