[quote=Anonymous]If you mean, how will they catch up? I guess I was not clear. Some will catch up because they are just not ready right now. Some teachers will push kids who are not ready to perform tasks for which they are not ready, and these kids will likely continue to struggle. Most Kindergarten teachers know better to do that, and, hopefully, they will be allowed to teach the kids at their own level. Some kids will never catch up because they have missed those two years of early childhood development where language is developed. If the home environment has not been good and the parents have not encouraged language development and read to their kids, it is likely that most of these kids will lag. Schools have a very difficult time making up for the formative years when the children are learning so many words. Building vocabulary is key. I am not addressing the math skills, but they, too, are developed at home.[/quote]
