[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought we learned these things in either preschool or kindergarten. Telling time. Tying a shoe. Buttoning buttons. But I did Montessori for part of early childhood, so maybe it’s different. [/quote] I’m an older Millennial and we definitely did learn those things in K. And the teachers also drilled us on our parents phone number and our address! It’s like a PP said, K used to be for teaching those skills and classroom skills like cutting with scissors, forming a line, transitioning between activities, sharing/taking turns, etc. Now K is all “learn to read and do math” and parents are expected to 100% pick up the slack on everything else.
