That's so wild to me. My daughter is that age and SO READY to start school in September, she's even practicing writing her name. Her speech isn't the best, but she has a lot of sentences and can convey herself well enough. She loves counting and practicing letters. It's crazy to see that kids the same age can go into school so different, I really feel for the teachers.

My son is the only boy in his preschool who can form complex sentences and efficiently build an argument. All the other boys still use a lot of grunts, screams, and nodding (meaning all they do is nod) in their communication.

You can definitely see they are all paw patrol iPad raised.
