Took my 5yo to his prep 'meeting' with Miss Mac yesterday...
wtf is with the exam? (Liz, you might be able to answer this). He was asked to count backwards from 84, forwards from 98, addition, multiplication, and then was expected to point out punctuation. HE CAN'T EVEN READ YET! I though this was the point of sending him to school.
Anyways, I was proud of the li'l tyke, he did manage to get most of it right, including writing his name, his sister's, and mum & dad!

I guess there's a reason for it...
(it might be like preseason footy training where we had to do time-trials, and improve with each session....I sussed that one out pretty fast, don't go hard for the first few sessions, and your coach will be looking at your improvement![}:)])
