[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote]As a preschool teacher, you’re making a mistake to worry about reading and math now. Let them get prepared for kindergarten in kindergarten. Let them learn through play now, how to listen to instructions etc but stop rushing the kids[/quote]

How the hell did you get that I was rushing them in my post, wherein I say my primary desire is to find a preschool that offers lots of outdoor playtime and nurturing and kind teachers? I do not care when they learn to read, but I mentioned it because SECONDARILY I would like them to be exposed to phonics. Thanks for not offering anything useful and providing undue criticism to a mom who is extremely stressed out. [/quote]

People are so ridiculous. They are insecure that other kids will achieve more than theirs so they shame any parent who mentions reading/math/red shirting/academics. [/quote]

I don’t think the preschool teacher responding was insecure about her own children. She was trying to be helpful and PP is clearly so stressed out that anything that deviates from what she is looking for she sees as unhelpful or a challenge to her parenting. And this post seems like a bit of a projection…most people interested in phonics/pre-math for a three year old or redshirting are insecure about their kids academic potential. [/quote]
