I've been told my first word was "da-da-da-DAD!"

My first word was uninteresting (not the word "uninteresting," just... not worth mentioning). But a classmate told me his first word was "touchdown."

I have never heard of someone being kicked out Kindergarten because they couldn't speak, thats just not right.
Not entirely sure what my first word was but according to my parents I had my own "dialect". "Iggy" was a common word that I used, it was the name I gave to my stuffed blue sheep. Also a "foo" was a horse and I would yell it out every time I saw a horse (even when I could speak properly for a few years afterword, before Kindergarten, I would yell out "foo" possibly because of early Tourettes).

I agree, I totally agree, but LET'S FLIP THE COIN!I have never heard of someone being kicked out Kindergarten because they couldn't speak, thats just not right.
Have you ever heard of a 5- or 6-year old who couldn't speak? Not including children with some sort of mental disability, although I guess even if you have no other disabilities, the fact that you can't speak would be a disability in itself... AND MY LOGIC HAS EATEN ITSELF.

That isn't exactly normal, no. Maybe I'm thinking it was too much like the present, where help for children who have such problems may be much more available. It would be sad if someone was put in Special Ed. just because they couldn't speak despite the fact of having normal intelligence. So maybe it was better for her to be turned away. Now the Special Ed. programs in most schools probably do a lot more than mental disabilities, such as helping people who just need to learn to speak, or possibly if either born or become mute permanently teach them how to work around it. Topics like these really get me thinking...
My first word was apparently also "duck". Hurray for creepy coincidences.My first word was "Duck!"

Really? I thought that was done away with more than a century ago. I went to Kindergarten in 1996, so I would clearly not have experienced the same kind of treatment. I was loud, and the teacher couldn't control me. I was constantly on the "Oops Board" (sometimes up to five times a day). You can get an idea of what the Oops Board was by the name, but they dealt with me even though they had no clue what was wrong yet. And even then they had me go to Speech Therapy because of my speech impediment (how they knew it was there when everyone sounded like six or five year olds, I don't know).I know. Things have changed so much in such a relatively short period of time. Like, when I was in Kindergarten in 1985, our teacher forced the entire class to be right-handed.

My naturally left-handed grandmother was made to write right-handed, but I think it was her parents rather than her teachers who enforced it. She never exactly got good at it.Really? I thought that was done away with more than a century ago.
