They Teach Me Dumb

I was eavesdropping on a conversation the boys were having.

Ian: I can't wait until I go to your school.
Eric: Why?
Ian: Because my school teaches me dumb.
Eric: What do you mean?
Ian: They teach me dumb, Eric! At school yesterday, my teacher made me write a letter to an imaginary character in a book. I had to write a letter to someone who isn't even real! See. They teach me dumb.
Eric: Yeah, that's dumb.

I was really glad I could giggle and not get caught.  Oh, and about a week after this conversation, Ian got a note from school saying he tested into the gifted school.  He was beyond excited.

AWESOME! I often felt I was being taught dumb and now I feel my kids are treated the same.
