[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have observed that K thru 2nd in public have turned into babysitting to the masses and enforcing basic disciplinary actions which should be learned at home.  As for learning or doing challenging work....well who cares since SOLs don't start until 3rd grade. There are still standards put out by the Dept of Education but nobody doing any kind if checks and balances.  Just wondering if anyone else has made the same observations.  If you are a proactive parent and working with your child to educate him/her, I would love to hear your feedback.  For others who have found themselves too tired to support and work on the educational side of parenting, please do not reply with any ugly comments or how children should just play outside and color.  I have seen too many forums on dcum where people write thing like that and it is really sad to see.  I really hope Obama can make a difference in putting programs together to help prepare young children early on.[/quote]

I think it depends in large part on the teacher your child gets, and also on the school he/she attends.  I find the whole thing very hit or miss.  DS's k-1was like that, but even he said how good his 2nd grade teaches were.  DD's k is a lot better.  I have friends with the k-2 babysitting experience and others who are surprised at how much their kids are learning.  I understand your perspective, you just need to enrich at home and let it go, otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy.[/quote]
