[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think many of us know that, and we know that there are social benefits to K. That being said, yes it is frustrating to think that my kid who not only knew the alphabet by age 2, reads at a first grade level, and has been in childcare his whole life and therefore knows the basics of circle time, etc... has to essentially put up and shut up for large portions of his day for at least the first quarter of the school year. Yes I know it, but doesn't mean I have to like the fact that large parts of his time will be review rather than gaining knowledge.

For your child's sake I hope you are trolling here. What precisely is the detriment to your child having to "review" letters, numbers, basic math and reading, at the ripe old age of 5yo? Is this holding back his application to Harvard?[/quote]
NP here whose kid is not even in K yet ;-). I would consider it a detriment over letting the kid play and actually enjoy learning. But my potential problem with the public school system is too much academics, not too little. [/quote]
