– Kate is a popular topic of conversation outside of school.\u00c2\u00a0 Her reputation extends past all of her classmates to their parents and beyond to even friends and family of parents.<\/p>\n

– Kate uses the potty all day long at school without incident.\u00c2\u00a0 (Note: she is not on board at home.)<\/p>\n

– Kate knows and uses French vocabulary daily.\u00c2\u00a0 Just not with us.<\/p>\n

– Despite our frequent discussion of holding Will to repeat Kindergarten (and thus be on the American system in terms of his age and grade level), we are struggling to find a true reason to do so; Will’s academic performance remains one of the best in the class, even when compared to students who have had 3 years of French immersion.<\/p>\n

– We couldn’t find a reason developmentally, psychologically, or emotionally, either.\u00c2\u00a0 We asked.\u00c2\u00a0 We looked.<\/p>\n

– Will can write very nice cursive.\u00c2\u00a0 (Relative to other 5 year olds.)<\/p>\n
