Kindergarden


James was a good student, but ever since the Great Shift his teachers had been worried about him. Unlike many of his classmates, James was swapped into the body of someone much older. It was complicated by the fact that he was also now a different gender and had to deal with being not just older, but also a woman. Even though he still had the brain of a 5-year-old, his kindgergarden classmates made fun of the fact that he appeared dumb. He certainly wasn't; he was probably average for his age, but they considered him dumb because he appeared older. They expected someone who looked to be in their 20s to be able to read proficiently and do complex math problems, he just couldn't! The teacher trying to explain the Shift to the students (even though they all experienced it as well) just didn't help.
