Ah, Kindergarten! The beginning of adulthood! The first time you are completely and fully responsible for yourself! People look down on kindergartners, you know. They know what they're doing. Take me, for an example. When I was in Kindergarten, I was already totally independent of the teacher by the third day. So as the Gym teacher, good old Mr Olson, led my fellow kindergartners, in a line, in from recess, I was already plotting a rebellion so secret even I didn't know I was doing it. You can imagine my surprise when I realized that my genius had freed me from having to attend class! But like many geniuses, this one was quite controversial and caused slight panic among those, namely myself, as I was the sole person actually present when this occured, who were affected. I did not want to be outside as long as there were no oter children to play with. So I brilliantly came up with another master plan to contradict the first: I would go inside. Now, this is where the problems started. I, being experienced enough to know what I was trying to accomplish, had everything under control until I found the door locked. Some incoherent nincompoop had caused this! This was not the fault of the wise kindergartner! The wise kindergartner was innocent! And so yet another plan hatched inside my vastly complicated mind. My dad liked videos. He and I used to go and rent them together. So, obviously, by logic the Video store just right across the Highway would know where he was. I was experienced enough to know not to cross busy highways without looking both ways, but there were may cars, and so I knew then that I would just have to make a run for it. My plan would have worked perfectly had a lady not stopped me. This minor detail did not disrupt my final goal, though. She magically opened the door which was locked before, a deed which I am extremely grateful of, and let me inside. This only happened once more before the teachers made a rule that I could no longer be at the back of the line. Now, that is, I believe, unfair to me as I was never in any real danger. What an undignified way to be seen walking the hallways. No such precautions were necessary, as you can plainly see from my story. Kindergartners are fully and completely capable of looking out for themselves. I don't see why they don't teach kids to drive until they turn sixteen. So my point is, stop oppressing the poor kindergartners. They can plan for their own futures. They're people too.
