. In the USA, kindergarten is the first year of public school. However, kindergarten kids only have half a day of school. So half of the kindergarteners go to school in the morning and the other half go to school in the afternoon. . In your story, the child is apparently one of the children who attended kindergarten in the afternoon. _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
