[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's with the letters and numbers in preschool? You have k, 1, 2 to learn the letters and numbers. Kids also have plenty of time -years 3-12 to catch up to the other kids who did learn their ABCs. Don't cut their childhood short.
Kids don't need to know their letters and numbers so young. They need to learn how to play.
I loved big class sizes and we had much older kids in class. So much to learn from them. Teachers were juts facilitators. I remember other kids more than the teachers even though they were always there setting up arts and crafts or getting us dressed to go out. [/quote]

This would be so nice if it were the reality but it's not these days. Within the first month of public school K, my kid was learning how to count by 5s and then 2s. They assessed her on how many sight words she knew before even entering K. Maybe private schools can take it slower but those of us who can only afford to go the public school route are at the mercy of common core curriculum plans.[/quote]
