[quote=Anonymous]I have a kindergartener in MCPS and they have not gotten any report cards yet (they only get 2/year unlike older kids.) Nor have they done any standardized testing. I'm sure OP is volunteering precisely for the purposes of ascertaining where her daughter stands in the fierce academic pecking order of K, but it's a pointless effort. Anyone who has older kids knows how much changes in these first few years of schooling, and many of the kids who may seem to be "at the bottom of the class" (!) in K wind up in a very different place by grades 3 or 4, much less when it matters in HS.

To the point of her post - yes, K spends a lot of time on socialization and teaching kids the rules of the institution. You may not like it OP, but if you were teaching a classroom of 5/6yos - whether it's 18 or 28 of them - it's essential that they learn to operate within the classroom setting, which is quite different than a home setting and most private preschools.

So OP, stop worrying about where your child ranks - you are the one who is turning her into a robot, not the school system.[/quote]
