As M was signing out of school after she and the girls visited my classroom the other week, an assistant principal asked N her age.
“Five,” N said cheerily.
“Oh, you’re five! Are you in kindergarten already or will you go in the fall?”
“I’m homeschooled.”
“Oh! Is your mommy teaching you?”
“I’m doing it myself.”
