I remember my kindergarten teacher being all up in arms because "X lacks the ability to grasp scissors in a manner that will enable her to cut on a straight line." Well Mrs. Smith, I'm nearly 40 and I can hold scissors just fine but I still can't cut a straight line.
Most if it was that I struggled to fit in. Had no innate knowledge on how to play with other children (in nursery school I spent recess talking to Mrs. Brown about her divorce
) I got good grades. Sucked in art and PE. Excelled in music, english and history. Found science boring and difficult.
But one thing that was always consistent was that I was always the kid who stood up for the underdog and how other people felt really mattered to me. My daughter's teacher said the same thing about her at the last parent/teacher meeting.
Oh and that i had an issue standing up for myself.
