We advocated for our son to repeat kindergarten. Now, he’s thriving at school.
Why does NYC make it so hard for parents to make the choice we did?
I’ve always said that @nycschools.bsky.social should have a August/September birthday cut off date for entry to school. I have a Dec child and it was insane for a 3yr to be expected to be the same as children turning 5.

Reading was my daily escape living in Public Housing in NYC. I could solve crimes like Nancy Drew or babysit in the Babysitters Club.
When my oldest struggled to read 18 yrs ago, it was painful to watch. 3 kids later all 4 w/dyslexic, no one captures the trauma like this podcast.

There’s a reason why Puerto Rico is La Isa del Encanto. While my mother left the island during the migration, going back for vacation or travel since I was little was always grounding. Nothing has changed since then.
