[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prepare for extreme exhaustion- like you have never seen before. I would hold off on the other activities until her wee body and mind adjust to the new stresses. [/quote]

Why is kindergarten so exhausting? And what can we as parents do - I mean, do others find this outrageous that this is the case? Is it the curriculum? WTH?[/quote]

I'm with you. But so many people in DC want this. Oh, please, teachers, give our 5 year olds RIGOR. Make sure they're so exhausted that by the time they get home, they'll be too tired to talk to mom and dad. I don't mind, it's for his own good. After all, if he's not doing long division and writing in paragraphs before entering first grade, he'll NEVER get into that ivy, NEVER be able to get into that top tier law school, NEVER be able to spend his time posting on DCUM about how hard it is working for biglaw....

No thanks. Demand better for your kids, parents. I'ts NOT okay for a kindergartener to be so exhausted. I WILL homeschool if I can't find a better option. [/quote]

Wow.  Glad you are able to blow off some steam!  LOL!!

With my 3 kids, the "rigor" was not the exhausting factor.  It was a combination of a significant change in routine, a longer daily commute and no more naps.  [/quote]
