Every once in a while I remember random events from the past. I’ve been reflecting a lot on school times with the munchkin getting ready to start school in August. I have to wonder what the munchkin will go through based on what I experienced.
I also wonder what the differences will be. When I was in school we had the HSCT, the PSAT, the SAT and the ASVAB. I’m not sure which of those still exists, and from what I understand of the SAT it’s changed a great deal. His sat prep will be very different from the one that I had to do. Mine was just math and English, I believe the new one has science involved as well. So, I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to help him with this studying with my old prep books. I have to look into different ways, but at the same time I’m getting ahead of myself. He’s only four. That’s over a decade before he has to actually take these tests.
This portion of his schooling though I’m ill-prepared for. My elementary school days were spent in England where things are drastically different. I already know that one of the main differences are these “science fairs”. We never had anything like that when I was in school, nor did we really do “show and tell” all these things are difficult to comprehend.
