[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, where did I say I was horrified? I think it's totally normal for a kid in K to be learning basic words. My point was that this can't be the first year they've had a range of experiences and I'm surprised they aren't more adept at dealing with it.[/quote]

From my experience this is how they deal with it. They are waiting for the other kids to catch up and then in first grade she will start learning again.  Sad, but that's how it was for us.[/quote]

"Waiting" for other kids to catch up is not acceptable.  The first 6 years are some of the most critical years with respect to brain development and learning.  That's not to say others aren't as important, but you get the most bang for your buck (ie. your effort) during this time frame. Putting your child into a holding pattern because a small sub-set of the parents of children in your kid's class didn't recognize this is simply not acceptable.  Like the other poster said, you guys are getting soft.
