[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In many foreign countries, in K, kids learn cursive, how to read, how to write full sentences, addition and subtraction with numbers between 1 and 100, memorizing poems and someone even told me they memorize times tables in his country.[/quote] I would not use the word "rigorous" but our small Montessori did most of those things in K and 1st grade, but "Times tables" were later. The 1st grade sentences were pretty simple, and they were taught the basic parts of speech starting in 1st grade. ALL kids at that school were reading before Halloween in 1st grade. A few kids were reading at age 3. A lot of kids were reading in K. It helped that they started teaching letters, numbers, and then Phonics during the 2-yr old / Toddler year. [/quote]
