I Thought This Was Serious At First

Link: Knudsen's News: More Preschoolers Facing Increased Academic Pressure......

It is this pressure to perform that experts believe is behind the increasing numbers of preschool dropouts.

But rising truancy rates are not the only problem that school officials are experiencing. Tina Crabbins, a teacher at the Primrose Academy Preschool where Hannah Wallace is enrolled, has seen sharp increases in cheating as well. "Yesterday I caught a student with the names of the primary colors written on her wrist during a pop quiz. She can't even read. How did she think that was going to help? She's a little slow."

I just wish I didn't know women more or less like the mother in the story.

But go read -- it will make you giggle.
