[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten is not that hard --- I mean they REALLY start at square 1 and any kid who has gone to pre-school is probably bored for the first 3 mos. I don't understand the fear that kindergarten today is so challenging. [/quote] This is a sign that you don't know what you are talking about. In kindergarten kids have to focus on and join in on classroom activities. There's much more structure, more sitting and paying attention. It isn't so much the writing and such, its that in kindergarten the kids learn how to be students in school. Sure for many kids -- especially girls -- this is not problem. For my DS, even after we held him back (August bday) he struggled with these skills.[/quote]
