[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As someone that has worked with the elementary school, I can also tell which kids have had opportunities to sit and listen, develop patience, etc. One year of preschool doesn't cut it for children that are expected to read by the end of kindergarten. And the kindergarten I attended 25 years ago? It was at a science/math magnet school, it was the only school in the area that limited play time in favor of education. The only kids that got in were the ones who could show that they knew basics like sitting still and listening, full alphabet and numbers to 20 (minimum), etc.[/quote] Being able to sit still has nothing to do with reading ability. I don't know why working with the elementary school didn't make that clear to you. My 4.5 year old can read in three languages and knows his numbers. Sitting still and listening for long periods of time? yeah, not his strength, and we don't care. [/quote]
