Well, technically, it was the teacher-parent orientation at the school. And while it was not a complete disaster, some of my fears were realized. Jakjak was taking after my side of being shy. It does not usually take him long to warm up to people, especially our friends., but there must be something about school that makes him weary and shy. He is not shy in the playground, nor at the beach, not even at the library. So why is there a shyness that overcomes him at school?
The school itself was pretty basic pre-school. In all honesty, Jakjak has already learned a lot of the things that will be taught in school from his grandmothers that were both teachers back home. The only difference would be that he would finally have classmates. Some sort of social feedback that he had been lacking for a few odd years. It would be good for him, surely. But until he warms up to the concept of what school is all about, we would have to wait and see.
Hopefully, he learns to un-cling himself from his mother when he sees how the school operates on Thursday.
