I'm reading all sorts of (awesome) books lately - but I still haven't worked out the death/kill thing! DS is currently reading a book on tanks in the military.

mrsmac, he did go to preschool and I worked pretty closely with the teacher (spoke to her nearly every session etc), she didn't give me any indication he wouldn't be ready for school.....but then again I missed the last parent/kinder interview. I since find via the psych who did his assesment that she felt he wasn't ready. We spoke often about my choice of school etc so I was a bit surprised to hear that. Tbh, I don't think it would have made a difference as to how things turned out.

What else would I have done with a 5.5 year old if he didn't go to school? I just never considered an alternative tbh. He seemed pretty good in so many other ways....
