[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be hesitant to jump to racism with a Kindergarten class. 5 years olds are very blunt and say exactly the first thought that is in their head. If your lunch looks yucky to them, they will say it. If they see a bald man, they will point out that he has no hair. If you are fat, they will just tell you that you are fat (ask me how I know). Of course talk to your daughter and the school and ask them to keep an eye on things but remember that your own daughter is probably calling out differences in other students or families that they would prefer not get voiced. I have worked with young kids for a long time. It is the nature of the age. [/quote] I agree with this. In K they start noticing things more and call out the differences. Unless they are being raised in an extremely racist home, I would chalk it up to curiosity. [/quote]
