Kay in Cal Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wow! I'm amazed that so many readers were upset that a *5* year old would sleep late or not be in a competitive school setting. Sheesh! He's 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've read different articles over the years about the competitiveness of the private schools in NYC and how bad many of the public ones are and often wondered why more people there don't home educate. Given the vast resources of the city (parks,museums,multi-cultural neighborhoods) it almost seems a shame not to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh! He's 5! Yeah that made me laugh! My parents would have been ecstatic if I had slept that late when I was 5:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
