Aide: "Well, I think he is just getting used to the routine now. It takes the children a while to get used to the routine. You know, he is just such a wonderful 7 year old boy. His brain is tremendous and it will take him far in life. But it's so important for him to just be a boy and be happy and play. The rest will come later."
My response to this statement would be:
"I agree 100%, which is why we present him with ample opportunities to be a 7yo, and to play. In fact, that's why he's enrolled here, as opposed to full-time homeschooling.
The major issue here is what he's doing during the majority of the school day that is not dedicated to play. During that part of the day, other 7yos get to learn things, and get excited by that.
What are your plans for providing something for my 7yo to learn?"
