[quote=Anonymous]I think early ES is just going to be boring for a lot of well-prepared kids, and there's no way around that. Public schools need to teach every kid who arrives, and in K-2 that's going to include a huge variety of preK experiences, from kids who went to academically rigorous preschools, to kids who watched the Bold and the Beautiful with their Nana all day, to kids whose preK was entirely about wandering the woods. By third grade, things start to even out and there will be some options for differentiation once MCPS deals with the kids who came in without literacy and numeracy skills. In the meantime, I'd caution against pushing your kid ahead too far at home unless you are prepared to do that for the next 12 years. Better to focus on other skills and on building good habits - so, learning a language, an instrument, a sport, whatever your child wants to do. [/quote]
