I don't get this obsession with people being five. I have a girl in my kindergarten class who turned five last month and a new one coming who won't hit her fifth birthday until after school's out for the summer. They're both completely ready to be where they are and I'm lucky to have them!

That said, with that door open, I now have the pre-K teacher trying to fob a couple more 4-year-olds off on me who aren't in any way ready, just to give her a smaller group and make her life easier...you know what they say about "no good deed"....
