What can he possibly be doing to be getting into trouble and being sent out of class at the age of three?

He was sent out of class at the age of three because he refused to sit and draw circles around the number three.

And I said to the teacher, I'm not understanding what we're doing here.

She goes, Well, they're all three, so they're circling three bats, three balls.

I'm going, the child's doing single digit addition with carrying.

He can count beyond a hundred.

forward and backwards in both English and in French, which he was learning at the time.

He writes all of his numbers, he's not gonna circle three.

She goes, Yeah, but that's what they're doing.

I said, then just give him a a sheet of sums.

He'll happily complete them.

So that was the first instance.

Then the next one came out when she said, he won't read.

Now this is a kid that walks around with a book and a basketball, right?

He was never parted from either one of those things.

I'm going, but you mean the child doesn't read?

So she says, No, he won't read.

And the rest of the class are reading and he won't read.

So I said, Well, how many words are on the page why this child won't read?

And she goes, Oh, there's no words on the page.
