Heaven forbid you strike while the iron is hot and while you have a kid who is motivated and excited to learn.” Can you tell he went to an awesome private elementary school in New Haven? Kira complains endlessly about her computer class because her teacher won’t let her go to the next level. Her homeroom teacher has just started assigning her different stuff, I notice (the dot-to-dot picture to 15 she brought home for homework on Thursday had a note on it that she should write a couple of sentences on the back about the picture, for example). I’m not sure she even realizes she’s doing different stuff, however, which is fine with us…
