    How those childcare "personality tests" SHOULD be filled out

    http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/par...-1226798861822

    So a sleep-deprived father wrote some "honest" answers for his 11-month-old child's questionnaire sent home from the daycare.

    I find those somewhat hilarious. At least he was honest!

    (and yes, the daycare saw the funny side)

    That was perfectly hilarious!!!

    I'm passing that on to my BFF . . . her little girl is only a month old now and she'd probably appreciate the humor in it.

        If you scroll down to the comments though, you'll see a couple of stories that make me think that at least this guy had a sense of humour!

        -The first one involved a daycare worker talking about how apparently the earlier you set goals, the better you'll become when you grow up. The age of the kid in question? SEVEN MONTHS. At that stage, her goals were to crawl, talk and eat solid food. >.>

        -Another one involved a 5-year-old having to sign his enrolment form to go to kindy. The kicker? The staff actually made a FIVE YEAR OLD SIGN WHAT WAS A LEGAL DOCUMENT All I could think by that stage was "please let that be one of the more "elite" schools where kids in their kindy programs are taught to read at a 4th grade level by age 5"

            Australian comment and same deal: a child cannot enter into a legal binding agreement.

            This is one of MANY reasons why I refuse to put any future kids in preschool centres attached to private schools. I'm strongly suspecting that the scenario I was referring to with the 5-year-old was from a higher-end private school rather than your bog-standard preschool or daycare (some preschools are attached to daycare centres, some parents will enroll their kid specifically in a preschool when the time comes. Other schools here have preschool programs attached to the school).

            One of the biggest moments for me when I was browsing the websites of the schools I work at on a semi-regular basis (as well as a few schools that I DON'T work at but want to) was the uniform requirements for the preschoolers and then the school kids. One preschool required "overpants" for their preschoolers for when they went outside (this was an all-boys school). Another school (and this applies to quite a few schools) requires the students to wear a blazer when out of the school grounds and/or their school hat when they leave.
