Professor Jackson
A decision had to be made about Danny's future, and though Jack was reluctant because he still hoped somebody out there would find a way to turn his best friend back into an adult, Danny wasn't getting any older. Well, he was, just at the "normal" rate. In fact, that birthday he'd had two weeks back put him at five years old, which was just the right age to start kindergarten.
That would have been a no-brainer had Danny been an ordinary child. While most five year-olds were still struggling to learn their ABCs, Danny's idea of a challenge was deciphering a previously-undiscovered alien language. Sure, his penmanship could use a lot of work, but thanks to the Dictaphone Carter gave him, Sergeant Owens-Dahiya had audio assistance when she transcribed his scribbles.
On the other hand, Danny was so very childlike at times, and Jack couldn't help but feel that he needed to make some friends his own age. Carter had strongly recommended Jack enroll Danny in a private school, but none of the ones he'd come across in his internet search looked like they were prepared for a miniature archaeologist.
Then he stumbled across a link to a discussion group for parents of home-schooled children. There were play groups, curriculums, and resource guides, plus tutor recommendations and reviews. Jack registered for the site and started up a new thread in the forum, and within ten minutes had the names of three potential tutors plus the contact information for two nearby play groups.
Heading onto the deck to give Danny the good news, Jack leaned against the rail and watched Danny and Rascal romping in the yard. As he watched the puppy ignore the little boy's commands to "sit", Jack decided maybe he ought to find an obedience school, too.
