Last week I was in the school working on some computers. I was in the 3rd grade class hooking up a printer. I had been thinking about the different age groups and wondering what level they were all at and what I was going to teach to each grade level.

This little blonde haired kid with two new front teeth, dressed up in his Tae Kwon Doe outfit appears.

 "What'r you doing?" he says.

"I'm trying to get this printer going." I replied,

"Windows 2000. Built on NT technology!!" he spouts off.

"What did you say?" I replied.

"Windows 2000. Built on NT technology!!" He says again.

"What grade are you in?" I asked.

"Second!" he answered.

 "Oh!" I remarked and then said, "Well, I need to get this printer going. I'll have to get a printer driver."

He says, "Are you going to download it from the Internet?"

"Yes," I said, "but not from this computer. It doesn't have Internet access."

"Are you going to put it on a floppy disk?" he asked.

"It won't fit." I replied. "Why don't you use Winzip?" He spouted off.

"What grade are you in??" I *had* to ask again.

I couldn't believe it. This kid was about 6 or 7.

At least I left that day with a little bit more info on the level of knowledge some of these kids may have.
