The Roundfaced Girl has started nursery. She has a little yellow polo shirt to serve as her uniform, and she looks unbearably, heart-breakingly cute in it.
I find myself worrying about the standard of the nursery teachers. Will they have the necessary standards? Will they learn her how to speak proper? Do they know how to position an apostrophe? This last one I appreciate is a bit of an unnecessary worry given that the Roundfaced Girl is only 3 and is unlikely to be penning her PhD thesis for a couple of years yet, but it is never too early to worry about grammar.
In my day, we were beaten repeatedly until we knew the difference between its and it’s. That was pre-school education for you.
