[quote=Anonymous]My child is in kindergarten and seems quite bright (to me, who is biased, but this has also been the assessment of preschool teachers and other instructors). I think he has potential to do well academically, with the right support and if he applies himself. But how do I know if he’s getting that support at his school? At this stage, I have some sense of how his days are structured and what sorts of activities they are doing. Some of it sounds right on target (good phonics focus, lots of reading and discussion) but other stuff I’m unsure about. It seems like they use screens a lot, sometimes the approach sounds a little severe/cold? But I’m not there, I can’t say. So how do I know? Just wait and see how he progresses? What if he doesn’t? What if he does but I don’t know if he could be progressing better at a different school![/quote]
