Preschool, Part Deux

So...we went to preschool today again. This time it was at the Realms of Inquiry school. Will was having a bad morning and so was clingly and sad when we left him, so Jason went out to the car and got Boba Fett (sp?) Will's little 4 inch tall plastic star wars guy. Deal done, Will in school, us gone. So here's what the teacher said when I picked him up.

Teacher: "I have some concerns, I'll have to think about it and call you at the beginning of the week."
ME: "Like what?"
Teacher: "Well, every toy he picks up becomes a toy weapon, and we have a policy, no toy weapons at all. No weapons play."
ME: "Okay..." (READ: I was thinking, Okay Lady let's turn him into a pacifist hippie gay/woman...)
Teacher: "And we have a no-action-figures-policy too."
ME: (Thinking, Oh, so no boba fett.) Oh you do?
Teacher: "Yeah, I think we need to make that more clear, like have it in the packet and on the website, I think I'll talk to the director about that one." (I never received a packet.)
ME: "Probably a good idea."
Teacher: "And he had a lot of interesting questions..."
ME: "Like what?"
Teacher: "Like when is nap time?"

Okay so a school for gifted kids thinks that a 3 year old asking when nap time is is interesting. He asked during story time when at home we take a nap after we read a book...Hmmm...interesting, eh?

By the way, we chose the other preschool. And for further reading just for fun, read this article from the most hippie, pacifist magazine I can sometimes barely stand to read at all, about weapons play.

So, Will starts school next week, when we will have Preschool, Part Trois.

Love you all.
