“When I was only three years old, my mom enrolled me in the first grade. My older brother was supposed to start school, but he didn’t want to go alone, so my mom told them I was six since I was so tall. But after a few weeks, they said they would have to put me in mentally disabled classes because I wasn’t up to pace with the rest of the kids. They thought that I was slow because all I wanted to do was sleep while the other kids were doing their projects. (laughs) So my mom took me out of school.

A school that doesn’t ask for a birth certificate? She is a few years older than mean so that means she started school in the early 90s. I can see that happening in oh, the early 1890s, but not then. I call BS.

It could happen. We once moved to another State just when school was about to start. I was admitted to third grade without any credentials because of our “special circimstances.” My parents submitted them a couple of weeks later. (^@,^)
