[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I learned how to brush my teeth in PK. I also learned at home. It is very normal for skills like this to be taught at school, and [b]one of the tasks of a school is to teach them, [/b]even if just reinforcing what kids learn at home. Do you think Kers spend 7 hours a day working on phonics? This is literally what Kindergarten is.[/quote] Shoe tying is not a standard and is not part of the curriculum. It hasn't been probably since the 80s. Maybe some private schools do it because they can handpick the students they want to attend. They have the time since they have bright kids only with interested parents. [/quote]
