[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no such thing as "repeating a year" in preschool/Pre-K, so there's nothing to worry about.  Early childhood education is for play, exploration, socialization, etc, plus some very basix exposure to letters and numbers.  if he has been somewhere for 2 years that has been treating Pre-,K like a grade with an academic curriculum and goals, he needs a year of real quality play-based ECE even more (maybe consider a forest preschool or something like that to fill in what he's been missing.) Kindergarten is ridiculously academic these days-- delay it for your child as long as humanly possible (assuming you can afford to.)[/quote]

It’s not academic at all.  [/quote]

MCPS kindergarten isn't?  Are you nuts?  They don't get any playtime on a regular basis except for a half-hour of recess, and maybe sometimes another half-hour a day during FIT time if they're not getting interventions (but even then they often just have the kids doing more academics, on the computers, etc.) The rest of the time they're just plugging through the curriculum, listening to the teacher, doing worksheets, and that sort of thing. It's pretty sad.[/quote]

It’s school.  They can play before and after school and weekends.  I send my kids to learn not play.  It’s not sad they are learning. Your attitude is sad.  [/quote]
