In other school news, Saturday Test Prep Academy starts for Ana this week!

It runs for four sessions, and we promised Ana that if it's really as boring as she fears she doesn't have to complete the course. (It's free, after all.)

This is what the note home says about it (abbreviated):

1. Students don't have to wear their uniform and should wear comfortable clothes. (Maybe they'll do active things? Seems unlikely, but probably profitable if they do!)

2. They do not need to bring any books and please (in bold) NO TOYS.

3. "They should bring pencils and a bright happy smile."

The last is what made me dash down here to type it up! Boy, are they ever optimistic. Even at the best school, you ever see a kid show up with a "bright happy smile" for an extra two hours of schooling on the weekend?

Well, obviously, that's why they have to be TOLD to bring one, otherwise they'd leave their smiles at home!!

(Trying here for the bright cheerful inanity I remember from kindergarten. God, that was awful, especially for someone who could already read and writeprint.)

Which is where they belong.
