[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see a huge change in curriculum from when I was growing up. Several children could read in K just like they can now. Maybe they weren't taking 5 AP classes at a time or playing varsity freshman year, but other than that, it appears about the same. The only acceleration I see is in AAP. Other than that, it may even be less challenging than before.[/quote] You must be pretty young. We weren't taught to read until the middle of first grade, and even then it was "Dick and Jane." It's not at all unusual for preschoolers in this area to read that series now. Kindergarten for me was half-day and pure play. Not a moment of structured "learning," other than how to socialize, which IMHO is by far its most important function. [/quote]
