I went to a parent-teacher conference last week. DS4 is right on track – knows his upper and lower case alphabets and can count to 30 (he got stopped at 100).

I sort of hinted that he could do simple multiplications already, and the teacher kept reiterated that he is right on track. I got a feeling that the teacher thought I am one of those pushy parents.

He is in preschool right now, and I was planning to send him to the same school for K.

I was going to bring up that DS is being unchallenged to the preschool principal, who mentioned they could give DS more difficult works this year.

I don’t want to rock the boat, but what if DS isn’t challenged academically at preschool? How about K? How about 1st?
