Kelkhil, you're the best Dad ever. But I'm curious, if Sir Daughter the Brave is taking you to dinner and the dance, does that make you Lady Dad? ((mildly confused))

...Think Mr. adamstevenson will check the old bar, or should I re-post my answer to his query in this one before he can make it?

Winter break for the boychild this week. Now that my personal work week is over he's staying home with me!

We have gotten our chores done. Now we have made marzipan. There are brownies with almond paste in the oven. I am getting him ready to head out for piano lesson, then it's off to the school for a parent-teacher conference.

I do so look forward to these little chats.
(Steps in a puddle of sarcasm)

The school does not give out report cards. We get to talk face to face twice a year. You get to hear about all the interesting things you were not advised of previously. I appreciate that they want to communicate directly with the parents and keep them involved. I appreciate that I get a much more verbose and lucid idea of how my child's academic career is progressing than a simple letter and terse checkbox comment.

Still, they always make me feel as if I'm being criticized for my parenting failures, and told that my child would do so much better if I'd just try "...", even though they don't actually say this out loud. I guess I just feel judged, and tend to get defensive, and feel like I have to fight to get them to see my child like I see him. It's probably because he's JUST LIKE I WAS ('ware the Mother's Curse "may you have five just like you").

When someone starts to imply this might be a bad thing or a problem I want to smack them until they drop the cookie cutter goggles. This is part of why he's in a private school in the first place.

Where they complain about getting lost in a book and not completing assigned work, I see a very active imagination and a daydreamer.

At least this school is not hell bent on creating a cube farm dweller, assembly line automaton, or cannon fodder. When the principal expresses concern that your child is not learning to meet productivity and this may negatively impact their ability to function in society WHEN HE IS ONLY IN KINDERGARTEN you are allowed to begin to reassess your educational options.

Now we are in fourth grade. I am cracking the whip as and when needed. He's doing better than a lot of high school kids at getting work done, as I recall. Focus. When he finally gets around to the work a forty minute assignment takes him an average of ten to fifteen minutes to complete. He's just calculated the area of five concentric circles for a fourth grade science fair project. I don't remember even seeing that stuff until tenth grade geometry.

Brownies are about to burn, gotta run.
