[quote=Anonymous]Whether it is Kumon or just supplementing at home, it is a good idea. Don't rely on the school alone. Big mistake. K has become pre-K, and 1st has become K. In 1st, teachers are still very much focused on behavioral and discipline issues, whether it be not throwing things to keeping your hands to yoy self. Sad, but true. Plus, the class size will be an issue for a while so out yourself in the teacher's shoes. Discipline issues, 25+ kids no help, vastly different skill levels, minimal time for lunch, and a handful of misbehaving kids. If you are looking to academically challenge your child, then you should do Kumon or supplement at home. As for preparing him for school, there will be kids on 1st grade who don't know how to read or write so your LO will not be behind. Again, sad but true.[/quote]
