Graded on a Curve

We made our parent/teacher conference yesterday. And I'm pleased to say that our little guy's doing fine. He's either at or above where he should be except for two little pieces. One is his art, which is mostly because he goes so fast that he's not concerned with neatness. The other is his storytelling abilities can sometimes interfere with the flow of the class. But for the coloring, the teacher said, "He's a boy, though." And when she was talking about the neatness of his handwriting, she said, "He's a boy, though." So I guess because he's a boy, we don't have to worry about neatness. It's possible that's hereditary, however, because if this wasn't typed, you probably wouldn't be able to make it out with the way I write.

So it was a good meeting and all in all, he's doing just as he should be for a Kindergarten student who only spends three and a half hours in class each day. He's not the smelly kid, or the annoying kid, or the bully, or the idiot, or the goofy looking one. He's just another kid in the class who tells some involved stories. And I'm good with that.
