Michael: It’s time to go in.
Ian: But I want one more minute!
Michael: You’ve had one more minute. I’ll tell you what. If you can tell me what 4+3 is, I’ll give you that many more minutes.
Ian: SEVEN.
In other news, this child has managed to make his preschool teachers doubt he can identify basic shapes or count higher than 12.
Why am I not REMOTELY surprised?!!
because you’ve met him.
Oh yes, and his teachers have not…hmmmn?!
no, they both said… “well, we really think he knows this… but here’s what he did for us.” Basically he would only cooperate with the parts of the assessment that interested him.
Oh, and you’ll like this- one of the ones he refused to do was a sorting activity…
I keep saying he’s a con man.
He’s always played this game but we know he’s got smarts!!
Yeah, the thing he did flawlessly was the hardest activity they gave him. For his own sake I want to get him to stop doing it.
