I have a kindergartener in a Catholic school in the Diocese of Arlington and here has been our experience:

The class watches a video every day. - NO.
DD brings home a bunch of letter tracing worksheets she did in class. - YES, I BELIEVE THEY ARE STARTING ON WRITING AND MAKING SURE THEY FORM THE LETTERS CORRECTLY.  I AGREE AND THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT.Teacher gave DD a lollipop for being a good listener. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Teacher uses a behavior chart. NO, HER TEACHER VIEWS IT AS A "LEARNING EXPERIENCE" AND REMINDS THE CHILDREN UP TO 3 TIMES ABOUT SOMETHING.  SO MY DAUGHTER WILL COME HOME AND SAY I GOT NO REMINDERS!  OR, I GOT ONE REMINDER.  SO-AND-SO GOT THREE REMINDERS!  AFTER YOU GET THREE REMINDERS, YOU HAVE TO WRITE YOUR NAME IN AN 'OOPS BOOK" AND A LETTER GOES HOME TO YOUR PARENTS SAYING YOU NEED TO WORK ON NOT MAKING THE "OOPS" AGAIN.
DD asked me why her teachers spend so much time typing on their computers. NO SIRREE.[/quote]
