[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry about it b/c your child is in pre-K. Kids in pre-K are not supposed to be doing academics. You could teach your child all they need to know for K in a long weekend or two. I second reading A Mandate for Playful Learning. The author gave a talk a year or two ago and it was fantastic. My child went to a private pre-K 3 mornings a week for 2 and a half hrs per day. There was very little academics but we did some at home. [/quote]I disagree...I feel there needs to be a balance of both, self-regulation and academics. Whether we like it or not, kids are actually reading when they enter K, writing their names at 3. I think it definitely varies per child, and their level of socialization also plays a part. Not to start a big argument, just expressing my opinion...[/quote]
