? My suggestion on the salary was that it not the way most of us would answer a question about how someone is doing - similar to how it isn't necessary to mention how many sight words a child has in answer to a general question either.

I can't really speak to whether or not there are downsides to that salary, but I'd be glad to offer myself as a test subject if anyone wants to do a study. :-)

As far as kindergarten how about "we looked at a lot of places and this seemed like a good fit."
