[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A problem with all these standards is that it doesn't leave enough time for social emotional learning. Remember All I needed to Know I Learned in Kindergsrten? Or whatever that book was called? Playing in the sandbox, role play, singing, art. That's what I want my Ker doing. But he has math and language arts every day...and homework. And he is only level B in reading...target is C by next month! Should I be drilling him? And he's behind in writing...uh oh! Too much, too soon.[/quote] My kindergartener has recess twice, no homework, and colors or draws every day. He also plays with blocks at school almost every day. There's no sandbox but there's plenty of social interaction. The problem is not the standards, but how principals and teachers apply them. Take it up with your school. It's not required by Common Core that kindergarten has to be a drag. These are all things that I learned in my terrible rural kindergarten 30 years ago. [/quote]
