ROT for 27th October 2009

Dear me, Plunket charts for kids at school. Good grief. Don’t they realise that kids are all different?

Children don’t match Plunket’s height and weight and eye-colour charts. Often this is because they have abnormally short or tall or weird-eyed parents and sometimes it’s because some parents feed their kids more or run them around more.

The same applies to reading and mathematics. Some children bring good genes to school and some wear unwashed and torn ones.
