I remember being so bored, home with my mom, no other sibs while my sis was at school from 8 - 3 (including walking to and from by herself, another thing that has changed...). <br /><br />Ironically my parents didn't send me to nursery school because my older sister had cried when they signed her up. I think I would have been eager. <br /><br />But times have changed indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403335925917427902.post-40050903232337258472013-04-24T19:26:53.587-04:002013-04-24T19:26:53.587-04:00I went to nursery school early to be with my siste...I went to nursery school early to be with my sister and left early when she went on to kindergarten. I, too, enjoyed the time being home with my mother. And I was reading before I entered school. We are rushing are kids out of childhood, I fear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403335925917427902.post-53570941609583637402013-04-24T09:13:12.765-04:002013-04-24T09:13:12.765-04:00I didn't go to kindergarten either, but am a l...I didn't go to kindergarten either, but am a lot older, Maureen & there was none in my little town. My kids went though, but a half day. There did used to be much more freedom, staying home, hanging out. I spent most of my summers visiting relatives & reading! Now, my almost two year old granddaughter will be starting Montessori pre-school in the fall. It's what they know, isn't it? Fun to see your picture!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7403335925917427902.post-77693021775155445222013-04-23T21:48:50.540-04:002013-04-23T21:48:50.540-04:00Funny how you were a kindergarten dropout and my m...Funny how you were a kindergarten dropout and my mom pushed me into kindergarten almost a year early. I don't remember anything at all about being there but I remember gobs about getting there as my mom was the neighborhood school bus - driving our family VW van up and down the streets and picking up kids (no car seats back then so no capacity restraints!) and dropping us all off at school. I actually felt sorry for my younger sibs who had to ride along and not get to go to school! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
