Homework

Garrett and I have been working on 'homework' (a big KG activity book) while Gavin does his homework. He's really doing a good job. Last night he said, "Maybe I'll finish the whole book and I can skip a grade." I said, "You have to think about a lot of things before you skip a grade. It's not always the best thing. Why would you want to skip a grade?" He immediately replied, "Then I could get to college faster." I asked him, "Why are you in such a hurry to get to college?" To which he replied, "Because, then I'd be a teenager and they're pretty crazy guys. You just have to go and leave. It's really short." My turn, "Why is it so short?" "I don't know, because you learned all your stuff already. You don't have to learn very much because you already learned it at school."

So, I guess we'll be looking very closely at #1 party schools and steering FAR away from those. Perhaps I can homeschool him through high school and college?
