chelidonMy son is nearing the end of his 2nd-grade year, and last week his school had a "Curriculum Fair," kind of an open house where all of the kids in the school get to show off their work from the year to parents and family, and to each other. Some of them cooked international food for each other, others talked about and showed off dioramas and reports on plants and animals and ecosystems, and so on.
While we were there, my son's teacher said to my partner about our son, "he's strong, but he's not the strongest kid in the class. And he's bright, but he's not the smartest kid in the class. But he's the kid all the other kids come to when there's a problem, to help them work it out, because they know he'll be impartial and he won't take sides. They know he'll find a fair solution everyone can live with."
I have never been more proud of my son. I mean, every parent is proud of their children, but I can't imagine higher praise than what his teacher said that night.
