Pasquale: Only ten more years until we go off to college!
School enthusiasts may have difficulty suppressing their feelings about the pursuit of higher education!
especially, if one only has 3 classes that term, and that includes a gym elective. sad thing is many kids who only have 3 classes are struggling to pass, even with a gym elective. and, schools gloss over many details. one example is ben franklin was a great american. they don’t mention he was the biggest hound dog.
This is my 10-year-old daughter to a tee! She can’t WAIT to go to college. She already knows that she wants to be a teacher (and has known this since she was 4).
This is how my younger son felt from age four onward (after visiting a local college for a holiday musical show)…that enthusiasm propelled him through home school and then in seeking scholarships and grants to put himself through college…now he is a college graduate who is pursuing his love of film-making and writing and enjoying the fruits of his education…that kind of enthusiasm and love for learning is a powerful force!! :)

aww, but by 4th or 5th grade we figured college kids had it easy since they only had 5 classes!

I think it’s sweet that somebody is actually portraying kids as enthusiastic about learning. For once.

I agree. They need to grow taller. When you see them next to an adult, it’s surprising they can even walk, they’re that small.
