The Early Years: Jim Is A Singing Snitch
Posted by jamesviscosi on November 15, 2009
I’m not sure if this checklist considers “Tells On Other Children” to be a good thing or a bad thing. And “Participates Freely in Singing”? I find that hard to believe!
Fortunately I didn’t go to a rough kindergarten, or I might have gotten shanked with a sharpened miniature wooden ice cream paddle.
Incidentally, this is a mimeograph; the original document is very light blue text on lemon-yellow paper. Unfortunately it comes out even more unreadable than this if scanned in color.
Don’t forget to vote for the next Scene of the Month!

You make up songs to sing to your animals, though, don’t you?

Sure you participated freely in singing; that’s when your mind was able to wander into outer space!

What a great checklist to send to parents. I like how you seemed to have balanced a) playing quietly and being b)overly noisy.

“tells on other children”!!!
Are you the oldest from a large family … not born yet; an only child; or just a snitch? hee hee!

My first reaction to this was to laugh… but then… OMG. Did they take notes on ME when I was a little kid? At least you got good checkmarks.
I wanna know what kid WOULDN’T “participate freely in free play time”??
