How awesome will it be if Jacket from the ‘hood learns Russian?

Holy shit does this Russian preschool mean business.  It’s excellent (according to my co-workers) but sort of scary!  My immediate thought was, well, Jacket’s mom wants white people- she’s going to get them.  Why didn’t I think of this before?

I asked (notice the word asked) Jacket’s new teacher if I could pick her up at 3pm tomorrow and the response was “We do lessons all the way until 6pm.  You are bringing her here to learn, right?  She needs to stay.”  Ok, 6pm it will be then. 

Jacket’s mom has chosen Saturday morning as her swim lessons day at the YMCA (I’ll make sure she gets financial aid after last year’s credit runs out), maybe she’ll like the idea of Jacket going to Russian school every Friday?
