[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you consider "play time"? Is recess play time? Are centers play time? And, if you define play time as "time when the teacher is not telling them what to do", why do you think that your kindergartener needs to get this in school? Is this something that your kindergartener can get at home?[/quote] Not OP, but our private school has free play for kindergarteners each day. Free play at this age is developmentally appropriate, and unfortunalely often lost as the school system accelerates learning by a year (I.e., what we learned in first grade is now taught in kindergarten). A lot of kids handle the lack of free play just fine. But a lot of kids don't. http://www.thestrong.org/sites/default/files/play-studies/Crisis_in_Kindergarten.pdf[/quote] No free play in school does not mean no free play. It just means no free play in school.[/quote]
