I am happy for you and your classmates, but ? right back at you. So what?

I’ve long been a proponent of keeping boys out of kindergarten until they 6 y/o. From experience. Both on a personal level and professional level. They have too much *play* in them to sit still for very long. It’s asking the impossible.

This does not even address the small percentage of kids who have a true attention deficit problem.
About the same as you accusing me of ok-ing hitting kids. I never advocated for that. Youre wasting my time
You personally? Come on Stanne!
