I realized today that when J started school, I was hoping for some relief. For once, J's brain wouldn't be my burden to bear alone. I wanted an ally, some professional help in handling the great responsibility I feel. I especially realized that my unstructured instruction on whatever topic J wanted to discuss was leaving major gaps in his education, and counted on school to fill those in.
But the past two months since J started kindergarten have gradually disappointed me, leaving me to realize that school really won't be much of a help. I am grateful that school is filling in the gaps, as I'd hoped, but it's definitely just brought its own problems.
That point was made clear today at my first ever teacher-parent conference, which I'll write about in a separate post.
