We Have a Kindergartener, Again
posted in Frenzied Daddy |Miss K was superthrilled today to go to Kindergarten. She’s going to our neighborhood school, because she didn’t get into Alameda (there weren’t enough slots open for her). She doesn’t know the difference, but Miss B was extolling the virtues of not following in your sister’s footsteps to school. “And you won’t get compared with me by all your teachers…” … uh, humble much? 
( Actually, I’m thrilled that her self-confidence is so high ).
We dropped her off with her backpack full of supplies. She might get a backpack from SchoolhouseSupplies.Org, but she may not. Again, it’s only her first day of kindergarten; she doesn’t have high expectations to compare her experience with. An interesting thing I noticed is that the neighborhood school didn’t require as many supplies as Alameda did- fewer overall supplies, and everything into the community buckets. I was originally thinking it was because that school is getting a lot more federal funds ( because of the no child left behind act) but it might be a difference expectation on the local kids.
