DD3 (almost 4) informed us over Christmas break that she was ready to move on to a real school now, she had done what there was to do at preschool and she wanted to go to a real school like her older sister did. When asked what she thought she would do at a 'real school" - her answer was, "what ever the teacher asks me to do!"
She is having a hard time right now at school because of boredom, we've talked to the teachers and asked for more,even brought in her books from home so she could do writing and stuff, and nothing has changed and she does nothing differently from the other kids. She has started to take over the teacher's desk though and tries to get the other kids to do what she wants them to do and then complains to the teacher that they aren't listening. Rather than seeing this as a ploy to get more interesting things going, the teacher sees it as a cute little game she plays.
