KinderQuote: Forgetting to Learn
September 13th, 2006Here's part of the conversation I had with Sebastian tonight:
Me: So, did you learn anything in Kindergarten today?
Sebastian: [pauses] No.
Me: No? You didn't learn anything? You should have learned something . . . that's why you go to school!
Sebastian: Yeah, I learned something.
Me: Oh, OK. What did you learn today at school?
Sebastian: [pauses] I learned lots of things, but I forgot them.
So, there you have it. I wonder if they taught him "short term memory" in school today. If they did, I'll never know.
