No Child Left Behind
posted by Sybil Vane
Some (not all) of the things my 4.5 yr old kid has learned in Montessori school this year:
The world used to be all stuck together and called Pangaea.
Baby Jesus once walked on water to make a point.
Romeo kills Tybalt and everyone gets flat on the stage at the end to show that they are dead. And also BOYS used to play the parts of GIRLS. And also, as part of this lesson, all the words and choreographed hand motions to Taylor Swift's "Love Story":
Martin Luther King Jr was shot in the back.
One planet is named for a guy with flying shoes, while another is named for the Little Mermaid's dad (who has several aliases). Also, she most definitely learned there are 8 planets.
Dinosaurs are extinct.
A very short man named Zacchaeus stole a lot of money from a lot of people, then climbed a tree and got to be friends with Jesus.
Lilly is boring because she always tells the same story about her mom's birthday party.
Just a little snapshot for y'all.
