When he was 4 I took him to register for kindergarten at our parish school. Christopher scored well above the others on all the tests required. He spoke well (from being around and talking with adults) and understood directions. He could count and spell. He read at a grade 2 level. <BR/>The final test was "social" in nature. As I watched him in the social area I knew I'd done something wrong by keeping him around friends and family (he only played with his cousin and the boy next to my Mom). He didn't know how to play with other children and became withdrawn, preferring to play by himself. The Sister in charge of applications told me he would do much better if we waited until next year. (He was a going to be 5 just after the start of school that year) She said he was very smart and probably do well academically, but his social skills may hinder him and it would be better to have him start next year after he learned how to play with other children.<BR/><BR/>My point here is you can't shelter your family from the evils outside your home. (not that other children were evil, I have "germ" issues) I could control what went on in my home and by enrolling him in Catholic school I knew my values would be taught. I now needed to let him "play" with others and hope the values I taught him would remain. And they did. <BR/>I changed to channels, censored the VHS tapes and controlled the influences around him, not the government.janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10885403909609923540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19104915.post-44121228994868408582007-04-30T18:50:00.000-04:002007-04-30T18:50:00.000-04:00So... are you saying that we should take a leaf ou...So... are you saying that we should take a leaf out of right-wing Islamic regimes and have totalitarian restrictions on the media in the name of preserving "morality"?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788823062002371899noreply@blogger.com
