unconventional home pre-schooling

I don't do preschool. For one thing, I'm too cheap. I would rather they be kicking around my ankles just a little longer. Kindergarten steals my babies from me much too soon as it is.

So our young Padawan has taken his education into his own hands. He's adopted the Pokemon Method as his learning method of choice. The bulk of his curriculum is contained in The Ultimate Pokemon Handbook.

Here he is working hard at his studies the other day:

"Puh puh puh....

puh-ih-ih-ihp.....

Pip llllllll....

pip luhp...."

{pause and then, triumphantly}

"PIPLUP!"

See, that's the advantage of home pre-schooling. There's no wrong way to do it, and I don't even have to do anything except provide the manual. Actually I didn't even do that. He just got it out of his brother's room.
