Integrity

When my kindergartener started school a couple weeks ago, he started on a system where his behavior in class would be measured in colors for each day. Each night he would bring home a folder which would indicate whether or not he was good (green), had a discipline issue (yellow), or worse behavior yet (other colors). Up until yesterday, he has brought home green every day of school. Yesterday was a yellow day. We asked him about it last night and he quickly told us that he had hit one of his classmates. We challenged him to return to school today and apologize to that student and strive to get back in the green the rest of the week. My sister--my bride took him to school this morning and informed his teacher that he was to apologize to his classmate that he had hit the day before and that we had talked to him about not getting any more yellows this week. She looked surprised and then asked the aide if my son had had a yellow yesterday. They both had him down as green, he'd been fine yesterday. So they asked him why he had colored yellow in the box on his folder for yesterday instead of green. He responded that he did that because he had hit his classmate and that was wrong.

I guess when you are wearing the full armor of God at school, things like honor and integrity matter, even in kindergarten. Well done son. (And to your brother as well as he has been spectacular in his adjustment to pre-school and not seeing his brother most of the day)
