Smart or Lazy?
So my 5 year old girl, Alexandria, is in kindergarten and was tasked with practicing writing her capital I’s. Now instead of drawing I over and over, she did a bunch |’s then she drew one long line across the top all of the |’s then another along the bottom. I thought it was clever but Sue thinks it was just lazy. Curious, should we praise her for working smarter, or reprimand her for taking shortcuts… hmm.

Casey: I wouldn’t worry too much right now. If she doesn’t get the idea I’m sure her kindergarten teacher will work with her. At least she’s thinking of a way to save some writing!
I think she is being resourceful and creative all at the same time. Good job Alex!!!
I always say work smarter not harder-way to go
