Jonathan is a genius. Just keep doing what you're doing! I'm happy to hear of his interest in helping his mother, too. I'm sure the older he gets the more help he'll be!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/17012009-06-15T18:53:57ZSursumCorda<p>Too true. But not all the the highly-ranked universities believe that, no matter what people think. How else could our never-went-to-preschool-didn't-even-get-a-high-school-diploma gal get accepted into MIT? Oh, right, the &quot;spend time with our kids part.&quot; :)</p> <p>Four-year-olds? Sounds like twins!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/17002009-06-15T18:38:54ZStephan<p>Singapore's similar. A few years back, a guy that works for our distribution partner told me his four-year-olds were attending some ritzy pre-kindergarten school. As long as we continue to believe that a person's alma mater is a reliable predictor of his value as a member of society (in all its facets), and remain too busy to spend time with our kids, fru-fru pre-nursery schools will continue to blossom.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/16992009-06-14T23:53:08ZSursumCorda<p>I was reading recently -- it could have been either <a href="http://sursumcorda.salemsattic.com/archives/2009/06/12/the-element" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>The Element</em></a> or <a href="http://sursumcorda.salemsattic.com/archives/2009/06/10/last-child-in-the-woods" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>Last Child in the Woods</em></a> -- about the pressure put on parents, notably in Tokyo and in New York City, but emerging elsewhere, to secure acceptance for their kids into the right preschool, to prepare them for the right kindergarten and elementary school, to prepare them for the right secondary school, to prepare them for the right college. Competition is intense, and the results can make or break a child's future.</p> <p>I think Jonathan attended the right preschool.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/16982009-06-13T11:15:33ZSursumCorda<p>That's m'boy!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/16972009-06-13T11:00:11Zjondaley<p>Jonathan also announced yesterday that if 8 divided by 2 is 4 than 80 divided by 2 must be 40.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/413/16962009-06-13T10:50:48ZSursumCorda<p>Indeed, I am grateful!
