copy from comment: Kindergarten

Hmm, I wonder how I would have been if our Montessori had supported anything beyond preschool level...

...I did official Kindergarten homeschool with my mother, and therefore missed out on the semi-structured playtime with other kids aspect of things, which severely sucked for me. I held a grudge against her for that for a long time, which was one reason I didn't get more into home study in high school...

Of course, circumstances were that she couldn't have done the transportation thing on time for both myself and my sister, but I still feel that if she'd known how very important it was to me, she could have tried...

Ack. Bitter memories. I fairly much like who I am now, but I was always resentful that my little sister got to have the true kindergarten experience while I did not.
