Xiao Xuezhen grew even more pleased as he listened. "Just let her start auditing classes next Monday. The child has a mind of her own and might not like our suggestions. We'll just see if she wants to enter first or second grade after the summer break."
"When she's home, her mother and older siblings can help her catch up. First-grade material is very simple; a few months is more than enough time."
"We're just thinking she should get used to school life ahead of time. Besides, what kid her age just runs around playing all day? Instead of having her pitifully watch others go to school while she has nothing to do at home, it's better for her to follow along and learn..."
Principal Zhang nodded repeatedly. "Chief Editor Xiao, you're so enlightened. A child's education should be gradual, but a little push in the right direction now and then can certainly have a positive effect."
Having settled the matter, Xiao Xuezhen didn't stay long and hurried home.
