Raine is always saying he is getting ‘tired’ of going to school. It horrifies me whenever he says that. How can he be tired of going to school? He isn’t even in first grade yet! I was already in first grade when i turned six and as my mother is always saying, I was reading non-stop.

I know it is horrible to compare myself to Raine, there are just too much distraction these days. Besides, each child is different. And it is also true that he has been going to school/day care since he was two-and-a-half. His exams in school have deteriorated. Well…except the science part. I can’t help but be worried that he is showing signs of burn out and worse, disinterest with school stuff.

What to do? Now I am hesitating to send him to summer school as a bridge before first grade. Maybe I should just let him play all summer vacation? But then I am afraid he’d get too much play and not be focused when school starts in June.
