[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero play time in my son's kinder.  Just worksheets and sitting at their desks all day.  No toys or legos or play dough or anything that might be even vaguely fun.  They don't even read - they just memorize lists of words.  [/quote]

What school is this? I'm sorry for your DS.[/quote]

An fcps elementary - it's awful.  Parents are moving out of this neighborhood to get out of the school.  Some are happy, but there seems to be a large minority - maybe 25% - of kids that are just miserable and can't cope there.  The classes are way overcrowded, but fcps keeps adding things to the school- stupid FLES (Chinese?  Really??), head start, etc.  Every year we get two or three new programs that take up space and money, but we don't have enough teachers for regular classes and we don't even have basic resources like books for the kids in reading groups (they read little xerox books that they staple together themselves and the teacher downloaded from the internet).
